Lions and other carnivorous animals do eat meat, but that doesn't mean we should. They would die if they didn't eat meat. Human beings, in contrast, choose to eat meat it isn't a physiological necessity.

More quotes by Sharon Gannon
What we see in the world around us is just a reflection of what is inside of us.
Sharon Gannon
Human overconsumption is a greater problem than human population growth, and meat eating is a big part of that problem.
Sharon Gannon
Create the kind of world you want to live in by how you treat others now.
Sharon Gannon
Be confident in yourself, in your abilities, and in your goals. Then go for it.

To be political actually means to care about your community.

The fact is that eating meat and dairy is bad for your health, the health of the animals eaten, as well as the health of the planet.
Sharon Gannon
Farm animals, like dairy cows - who by nature are vegans - are routinely force-fed fish to increase their weight and milk production.
Sharon Gannon
See the other person's potential for kindness and bolster your own expression of kindness. If you see them in a negative way, the power of your perception will only help to keep them that way as you polarize yourself from them, assuming a superior role, seeing yourself as the good guy and them as the bad guy.
Sharon Gannon
We must stop viewing ourselves as separate and disconnected from the rest of life, as if we are a special case and the laws of nature or karma do not apply to us.
Sharon Gannon
Choosing to be kind rather than to be cruel benefits everyone.

Yoga is many things to many people, but in its full potential the practice of yoga can provide the means to transform suffering into happiness and Suzanne Bryant's film YOGA IS shows us this path.
Sharon Gannon
Human beings have been waging war and destroying the environment for long time. Just because it has been going on for a long time and become an unquestioned habit, does that mean it should be allowed to continue.
Sharon Gannon
By choosing to be kind instead of cruel, we can break the karmic chain of reacting to violence with more violence, contributing to a more peaceful future for everyone.
Sharon Gannon
Is it really that much better to make friends with animals before you kill them than to treat them as nameless, faceless objects before you kill them? From a yogic point of view, one must weigh the karmic consequences of perceiving others as mere objects to be used and the consequences of profiting from the suffering of others.
Sharon Gannon
It may take sixteen pounds of grain to make one pound of beef, but it also takes one hundred pounds of fish to make that one-pound of beef!
Sharon Gannon
Fishing is taking a huge toll on the planet's ecosystem.
Sharon Gannon
Eating a vegetarian diet can contribute more to saving ourselves and the planet than any other single effort.
Sharon Gannon
Lions and other carnivorous animals do a lot of things besides eat meat. They live outdoors, not in houses they don't wear clothes or drive around in cars they usually sleep for many hours after eating a meal. Why cite just one of the many things that they do and argue that we should imitate them? This doesn't make much sense.
Sharon Gannon
By working to alleviate the suffering of animals you are working at the cause level of human suffering.
Sharon Gannon
We are the only animals who steal and drink the milk from other species.
