Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love. " Pythagorus I don't myself believe that, even when we fulfill our minimum obligations not to cause pain, we have the right to kill animals. I know I would not have the right to kill you, however painlessly, just because I liked your flavour, and I am not in a position to judge that your life is worth more to you than the animal's to it. Brigid Brophy To us it seems incredible that the Greek philosophers should have scanned so deeply into right and wrong and yet never noticed the immorality of slavery. Perhaps 3000 years from now it will seem equally incredible that we not notice the immorality of our own oppression of animals. Brigid Brophy Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal. Alexander Hamilton Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to. Alfred Montapert Being a pacifist between wars is as easy as being a vegetarian between meals. Ammon Hennacy I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. A. Whitney Brown Oops a Daisey!...the bacon's burning...gotta go get breakfast. More on war and animals shortly.......bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
