" Whatever my own practice may be, I have no doubt that it is a part of

the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave

off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off

eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized. " -

Henry David Thoreau

 

" He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with

men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals. " -

Immanuel Kant

 

" The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the

way its animals are treated. " -Mohandas Gandhi (a.k.a. Mahatma)

Interesting... I've been reading a bit of Kant lately with regard to

religious toleration - for someone from the 18thh century, he was a good few

centuries ahead of his time... it's just a shame so few people seem to have

paid any attention to him!

I love these quotes. I was just reading an e-mail this morning about HLS and the testing they do on animals, and it talked about how sadistic the technicians are. That seems to be common among those whose job it is to harm or kill animals. I suppose that is to be expected. They must have to close off those channels through which compassion flows in order to just do their jobs. peace, sharongreenteaop <greenteaop wrote: Vegan and Vegetarian
