I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens.
~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
quote
Eating meat…
“The meat industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars lying to the public … but no amount of false propaganda can sanitize meat. The facts are absolutely clear: Eating meat is bad for human health, catastrophic for the environment, and a living nightmare for animals.”
~ Chrissie Hynde, The Pretenders
Big, old trees…
“Big old trees in large, connected, ecologically intact old-growth forests make the world go round.” – Dr. Glen Barry
Apathy…
“The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” – Plato
Sick society…
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” – Krishnamurti
Not a factory…
The world is not a factory and animals are not products for our use
~Arthur Schopenhauer
Quote by Joaquin Phoenix
“It takes NOTHING away from a human to be kind to an animal.”
-Joaquin Phoenix
Quote by Pythagoras
”Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul”
– Pythagoras
Great quotation
“It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win. Even though you can’t expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That’s morality, that’s religion. That’s art. That’s life.”
PHIL OCHS
Amazing
I found this quote in the veganism community on LiveJournal. (I really have to emphasize how friendly and useful this community is. Highly recommended for all veg*ans who know English.)
“Isn’t man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife – birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes – by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative – and fatal – health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth.”
