Love Thy Neighbor (on This Planet)

Throughout history thinkers and artists, from Pythagoras to Paul McCartney, were concerned not only by the way we treat each other, but also how we treat our fellow animals.

I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.

Leonardoda Vinci

We do not like to think about what we eat and where our food comes from.

And though we may hide the suffering behind thick walls of the slaughter-houses, but this won't make it disappear.

If you don’t like seeing pictures of violence towards animals being posted, you need to help stop the violence, not the pictures.

JohnnyDepp

The ruthless truth is: billions of animals are being tortured and killed every day not to sustain our lives but merely to provide luxury, to satisfy our whim.

There is no fundamental difference between man and animals in their ability to feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery.

CharlesDarwin

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.

ThomasEdison

Now I can look at you in peace; I don't eat you any more.
