We
don't live the lives of Eskimos. We don't need to kill animals for fashion.
-- Charlize Theron
 | "As
long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields."
-- Leo
Tolstoy "What
I think about vivisection is that if people admit that they have the right to
take or endanger the life of living beings for the benefit of many, there will
be no limit to their cruelty."
-- Leo
Tolstoy *
"It may be suggested by some books that it is not a sin to kill an animal, but
it is written in our own hearts - more clearly than in any book - that we should
take pity on animals in the same way as we do on humans."
-- Leo

According
to the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, fish have feelings too.
Whenever my sons go fishing they always tell me, "Dad it doesn't hurt a fish to
get hooked." Well I watch and I see and I believe it's painful for the fish.
-- Donald Trump

I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable
to the human race or doesn't...The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals
is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification
of the enmity without looking further.
-- Mark

"It is totally unconscionable
to subject defenseless animals to mutilation and death, just so a company can
be the first to market a new shade of nail polish or a new, improved laundry detergent.
It's cruel, it's brutal, it's inhumane, and most people don't want it."
--
Abigail 'Dear Abby' Van Buren
"Cruelty
to animals is one of the most significant vices of a low and ignoble people. Wherever
one notices them, they constitute a sign of ignorance and brutality which cannot
be painted over even by all the evidence of wealth and luxury."
-- Alexander
Von Humbolt
I
became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I
wish it was against the law.
-- Christopher Walken

The
animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans
any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
~Alice Walker "The
Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this.
No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking
sanctuary."
~Alice Walker

There
can be no justification for causing suffering to animals simply to serve man's
pleasure or simply to enhance man's lifestyle."
-- The Dean of York
