Peter Singer -
For most people in modern, urbanised societies, the principal form of contact with nonhuman animals is at meal times. |
Gandhi -
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. |
Thomas Edison -
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages. |
Albert Einstein -
It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind. |
Ralph Waldo Emerson -
You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity. |
George Bernard Shaw -
We are the living graves of murdered beasts, slaughtered to satisfy our appetites. How can we hope in this world to attain the peace we say we are so anxious for? |
Worldwatch Institute -
From the most immediate impacts - nitrogen contamination and retreating grasses - to the most far-reaching - loss of species and climate change - current methods of rearing animals around the world take a large toll on nature. Over-grown and resource-intensive, animal agriculture is out of alignment with the Earth's ecosystems. |
Nothing is more powerful than an individual acting out of his conscience, thus helping bring the collective conscience to life. -- Norman Cousins
