Image
The thinking (person) must oppose all cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
If experiments on animals were abandoned on grounds of compassion, mankind would have made a fundamental advance.
Richard Wagner
Image
To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The distinction between meat and other animal products is total nonsense. Vegetarianism is a morally incoherent position. If you regard animals as members of the moral community, you really don’t have a choice but to go vegan.
Gary L. Francione

For innumerable reasons, Mahamati, the Bodhisattva, whose nature is compassion, is not to eat any meat.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
We have found ways... to torture and maim animals and make their lives a misery, almost a living hell... in the multinational food industry... and in laboratories where often the most important thing being researched is the latest in lipstick or face cream.
David Oderberg
Image
'Thou shalt not kill' does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings and this commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Animals are not brethren, they are not underlings they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time.
Henry Beston
Image
There is not a single argument nor a single fact that can be offered in favour of flesh eating that cannot be offered, with equal strength, in favour of cannibalism.
Herbert M. Shelton
Image
Among the noblest in the land - Though man may count himself the least - That man I honor and revere, Who without favor, without fear, In the great city dares to stand, The friend of every friendless beast.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of Great Kindness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Immanuel Kant
Image
I choose not to make a graveyard of my body for the rotting corpses of dead animals.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to support any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life
Nhat Hanh
Image
Try vegetarianism and you will be surprised: meditation becomes far easier. Love becomes more subtle, loses its grossness — becomes more sensitive but less sensuous, becomes more prayerful and less sexual. And your body also starts taking on a different vibe. You become more graceful, softer, more feminine, less aggressive, more receptive.
Rajneesh
Image
The thought of two thousand people crunching celery at the same time horrified me.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Every time we sit down to eat, we make a choice. Please choose vegetarianism. Do it for animals. Do it for the environment and do it for your health.
Alec Baldwin
Image
Eating meat is a leftover of the greatest brutality [killing] the transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of enlightenment.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
In all the round world there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses.
H. G. Wells
Image
By all that is sacred in our hope for the human race, I conjure those who love happiness and truth to give a fair trial to the vegetable system!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
