Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
Albert Schweitzer
As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behaviour towards creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

Wiki- A cannulated cow can be referred to a cow that has been surgically fitted with a cannula. A cannula acts as a porthole-like device that allows for access to the rumen of a cow. This addition of a cannula to a cow allows for extensive research and analysis of the digestive system of a cow that otherwise could not have taken place. The activity of surgically fitting a cow with a cannula can be traced back to as early as the 1920s.

Being vegetarian here also means that we do not consume dairy and egg products, because they are products of the meat industry. If we stop consuming, they will stop producing. Only collective awakening can create enough determination for action.

Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they’re in the game.

When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.

When you feel like all hope is lost. Please do not lose sight of what you are fighting for, do not ever give up and if you are afraid that what you are doing is not enough do more.

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are like us.” Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are not like us.” Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.

In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see oppression vividly when they’re the victims. Otherwise they victimize blindly and without a thought.

If you are not vegan, please consider going vegan. It’s a matter of nonviolence. Being vegan is your statement that you reject violence to other sentient beings, to yourself, and to the environment, on which all sentient beings depend.
