More quotes by Jonathan Balcombe
From my earliest memories I was fascinated by animals. I would explore my backyard for insects and gaze at anthills until my elbows became sore. When I was 8, my mother bought me a book of North American birds and I've been keen on birdwatching since.
Jonathan Balcombe
Anyone who's lived with companion cats or dogs knows that they are unique individuals with their own personalities. I think animals' secret to getting along is that they are not burdened by an ego.
Jonathan Balcombe
We have to realize that treating animals well is in our best interests, too. Cruelty is indivisible when you are cruel to an animal, you are training yourself to be cruel to people, too (and vice versa).
Jonathan Balcombe
People don't like change when it comes to changing their own lifestyle habits.
Jonathan Balcombe
Humankind won't find peace as long as we're treating feeling animals as if they were so many blocks of wood.
