My favorite animal rights and vegan quotes
(1 viewing) (1) Guest
Do you feel each one of us has the responsibility to stop the torture and murder of innocent animals by boycotting the animal slaughter houses industry? Please, feel free to share your anger about the cruelty involved in this bloody business and to share ideas and information that may educate people that still don't understand the connection between meat and animal cruelty.

"My goodness. It is just so backward that humans actually eat animals. We need to take steps forward and evolve out of meat and dairy consumption, and we need to evolve out of seeing and using animals as commodities. They are NOT commodities! They are sentient beings who share what we do, fear, stress, happiness, sadness, social needs, etc. They have every right to live just as you do." ~Melissa Vegan-Keller  "Love when you tell someone you're vegan, they get extremely concerned about your health. Meanwhile, more than half of Americans will get heart disease, 67% are obese or overweight, type-II diabetes is an epidemic, the number one prescribed drugs are statins, osteoperosis drugs are in the top five... Vegans make up 0.5% of the population and are rarely affected by these conditions. Who needs to be concerned?" ~McKenna Grace Fisher "There are 600 million vegetarians in the world and that is bigger than the U.S, England, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Australia... If we were one nation we would be bigger than the 27 nations in the European union... just think about that..." ~McKenna Grace Fisher "You are not helping any animals by going vegan. Saying that you are helping animals by going vegan, is like saying that you are helping your neighbour by not punching her in the head. Going vegan simply means that you are no longer hurting animals. Going vegan is not enough. To help animals, you need to do activism. You need to promote veganism." ~John Sakars "Animal abusers, vivisectors and hunters should be put into a hungry Lions Den. If they survive the night, then by all means.. They can go free!!" ~Veronica Galistan "Valentine's Day is a meaningless holiday manufactured by our vapid society to force you to spend money to show you love someone. A real relationship doesn't require a day of the year to show someone you love them; you do it all the time in your own way. If you really want to express your love for people who care about you, the environment, and animals, go vegan. Happy Vegantine's Day." ~Andrew Kirschner “What I am doing is going along with the fact that I live in a society where meat eating is accepted as the norm, & it requires a level of social courage which I have not yet produced to break out of that. It's a little bit like the position which many people would have held a couple of hundred years ago over slavery. Where lots of people felt morally uneasy about slavery but went along with it.." ~Richard Dawkins "'I love meat, milk and cheese so it's tough luck for the animals.' 'I quite like sex, but that doesn't mean I should be able to rape women, does it?' If what you do, however much you 'love' it, causes immense harm and creates victim after victim, why are you still doing it?....Be Vegan and learn to love the living..." ~ Davegan Raza "The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot." ~Mark Twain "The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of "real food for real people," you'd better live real close to a real good hospital." ~ Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine "Until people are killed for lack of space, I'll keep putting the animals first. Until people are tortured and murdered on the scale animals are, I'll keep putting animals first. Until people can make me smile the way animals do, I'll keep putting animals first." ~ Unknown "If cruelty is evil, and God is all-compassionate and all-merciful, then why do people believe God is an animal-killing, bloodthirsty, murderous devil? If slicing animals into pieces is permissible by God, then what horrible things could the Devil possibly do to animals? In other words, if you believe God condones the killing of animals, then the God you glorify is no better than the Devil you condemn" ~Bill Heaps "Ever hear of anyone in the US with kwashiorkor (protein deficiency) or pernicious anemia (B12 deficiency)? Didn't think so. How about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia, hypertension, stroke, Alzheimer's, etc.? Good thing meat & dairy keep us so healthy!" ~Chris Aultman "Want to be floored? There has never been a single documented case ON EARTH of a vegan with Alzheimer's. NOT ONE. The theory is that it's closely tied to Mad Cow, avian flu, etc. Good thing our government & medical community care more about our health than corporate profits, huh?" ~Chris Aultman "Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to digestive -- 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 violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."" -Old McDonald's Factory Farm, by C. David Coates "Soul Takers" Melissa Vegan-Keller You Take My Flesh, To Fill Your Bowl, You Feed Your Face, Upon My Soul, My Life Was Short And Not So Sweet, Spare A Thought, My Heart, No Beat You Devour My Skin, For Your Own Greed, Im Trapped Within, Never FREED "People want to know why there's all these "angry vegans"? Remember how pissed off everyone was after Sept. 11, 2001? Well, there's a Sept. 11 happening to the animals every second of every day, 365 days a year...Only it's legal and almost everyone is participating. Gee, still wonder why we're upset?" ~Danny VeganBatman Nichols "6 million Jews killed in the holocaust of WW2. 6.5 million animals killed per hour (yes, your heard me: PER HOUR) so that people can stuff their faces. The Jewish Holocaust was a tragedy. The Animal Holocaust is too. Won't you stop being a part of the worst holocaust in history? Won't you go vegan? ☮ ♥ Ⓥ" Despina Rosales "A bear kills a human and it's labelled a 'vicious attack', even though it's instigated out of fear and/or self-defence. A human kills a bear and it's labelled a 'sport', even though it's instigated out of mindless savagery and utter selfishness. Language can be used to make animal normality worse than human abnormality. My language doesn't... Sport hunting is Murder.. End of Story..." ~ Davegan Raza "I Respect your right to life but I will NEVER Respect your 'right' to kill.....EVER..."~ Davegan Raza "If you want me to support the idea of basic human rights, in return I expect you to support the idea of basic animal rights.... Live Vegan..." ~ Davegan Raza "Give an animal a name and it becomes a friend. Give an animal a number and it becomes food. The twisted psyche of the human mind..... ....Live Vegan because numbering sentient beings is what Hitler did...." ~ Davegan Raza "If I am to be a voice for animals, then how should I speak? Am I to whisper, when they are screaming in pain? Am I to be calm, when they tremble in fear? Am I to shout for mercy, as their throats are being slit? Tell me how I need to speak for you to grant them their freedom? I'm listening; are you? Live Vegan, because every new voice makes their suffering less silent..." ~ Davegan Raza "Take slavery, rape, kidnapping, theft, infanticide, abuse, imprisonment, grief, loss, exhaustion and then death. Add growth hormones, anti-biotics, pus, blood, fat and cholesterol. Shake vigorously and put in a bottle. Label as milk. Make profit....." ~ Davegan Raza "Sport hunting is as cowardly an act as beating a child....." ~ Davegan Raza "I think the term 'Fast Food' should only be allowed to be used in reference to food that needs no preparation e.g. fruit...." ~ Davegan Raza "I find it hard to believe that anyone who thinks that it is impossible to love a non-human animal as much as a human animal actually has the capacity for love. I experience both on a daily basis and I can assure you, you can... Love is not bound by species ....Live Vegan...." ~ Davegan Raza "It is impossible to pick a day, week, year, decade, century or millenium to pay remembrance to the billions of animals and trillions of fish that have been killed at the hands of humans, because it's been happening since recorded History begun. And to add insult to injury the rate of killing is accelerating every year. This is the reason that I and others make EVERY DAY without fail, a day of remembrance for non human animals and will continue to do so until we take our last breath...." ~ Davegan Raza "What I hold dearly and what you hold dearly may differ. However, I don't deliberately harm what you hold dearly.... Live Vegan...." ~ Davegan Raza "When you have chosen 'Compassion over Killing', Used 'Forks over Knives', Have 'Met your Meat', Rejected the 'Skin Trade', Worked for a 'Peaceable Kingdom', Bore 'Witness' to the abomination of Fur, and Accepted your role as an 'Earthling', maybe then you will truly understand why animals matter... ....Live Vegan...." ~ Davegan Raza "Do you know why I am certain that loving and respecting animals is infinitely more fulfilling than eating, using and wearing them? Because I have done both, and until you have lived as a Vegan and made the connection to animals, your opinion that the opposite is true has no basis in reality..." ~ Davegan Raza "It is through the smallest of creatures that we can learn the greatest of lessons. Life is precious to all that experience it. It should be cherished and shared. And to take it, unless it is absolutely necessary, is the epitome of a selfish act. The lives of animals are wholly dependent on the choices we make. So choose with thought. Act with compassion. Live with responsibility ....Live Vegan...." ~ Davegan Raza "I have yet to hear a single reason from a non-vegan about why they reject veganism that isn't about them... Coincidence? I don't think so..." ~ Davegan Raza "On 9/11/2001 - 164,383,561 animals that lived a life of misery were brutally murdered having their throats sliced wide open bleeding to death fully awake as their limbs sawed off alive and sent into a boiling tank fully conscious, DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THEM? If you eat animals you are the TERRORISTS." ~Unknown "People are the only animals that drink the milk of the mother of another species. All other animals stop drinking milk altogether after weaning. It is unnatural for a dog to nurse from a mother giraffe; it is just as unnatural for a human being to drink the milk of a cow." ~Michael Klaper, M.D., American author and international lecturer "What would happen if you didn't eat a turkey for Thanksgiving? Would you lose your college loan or your job? Would your family stop loving you? Would you get sick and die? What really matters in your life? Are you treating all inhabitants of this earth with compassion or are you succumbing to cultural norms? Are you a leader or a follower? Do you think for yourself to determine right from wrong? Are you treating animals the way you want to be treated? You are what you do, not what you say. Who are you?" ~Andrew Kirschner "I hear people criticizing Joe Paterno for not taking a stand against child abuse. I want to ask all of these people if they're taking a stand against animal abuse. What's the difference? People say they can't imagine not speaking out after witnessing such unthinkable acts yet many of these same people know about and continue to support the horrific torture and killing of sentient animals. Listen to a pig scream in pain in a slaughterhouse and tell me it's apples and oranges. Animals matter -- they feel pain like a child feels pain -- and what you do to them counts. It's time to align your words with your actions." ~Andrew Kirschner "Many non-vegans use the 'We've always done it' argument when defending/explaining their self-given right to use, kill and abuse animals. I summise from this that they see History as a suitable blueprint for the Present and Future. I guess if you're non-white, Jewish, Female, have a learning difficulty, etc, you have a very bright(sic) future to look forward to..... The Future should be unwritten. Let's not write it in blood and pain.... Live Vegan...."~Davegan Raza "I am long past the point of believing DNA defines family. I am even further past the point of believing previously shared experience defines friendship. If you do not acknowledge the fundamental right of non-human animals to be freed from human oppression then we can be neither friends or family. The suffering of animals is not something I can ignore in favour of the need for human companionship. I have new friends and a new family. A family that encompasses all species, so I have only gained, not lost.... Live Vegan...." ~Davegan Raza "We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form." ~William Ralph Inge, Outspoken Essays, 1922 'If you eat meat then you cannot possibly claim to care about animals… there is no such a thing as ‘humane’ killing… each and everyone of them died a horrible death, full of terror and agonizing pain until their very last breath… and all to satisfy your taste buds. There is no sugar coating the truth…" ~Unknown "It doesn't matter how many times you turn away from the suffering and death inflicted on animals caused by your flesh and dairy lust. I and many others will still be standing in front of you with the truth. Lies and denial will be uncovered and spoken of. From now until their suffering ends. For you it is but a mere choice. For them it is everything. Silence is not a word I even understand anymore. So run as fast as you can. You will not get away. The truth will always catch you.... Live Vegan...." ~Davegan Raza "I don't expect all of my friends to get along. However, I cannot be friends with people who eat some of my other friends ....Live Vegan...." ~Davegan Raza "I am as interested in the reasons you eat flesh and dairy, as you are in the animals that suffer and die for your consumption..... Is that clear enough? ....Live Vegan...." ~Davegan Raza "Many people give food a central role in their life. I however, give life a central role in my food. ....Live Vegan...." ~Davegan Raza "When you focus on WHAT and WHY you eat, rather than on HOW and WHO you eat, you'll have taken a big step towards understanding Veganism..." ~Davegan Raza "However distressing it is, watching a lion hunt and kill another animal to eat him/her, never feels to me to be anything other than a natural act. I have seen many animals killed by humans for all sorts of reasons, and it never seems to me to be anything other than an unnatural act. I have never had the urge to kill an animal. I don't think its natural at all. ....Live Vegan...." ~Davegan Raza "Don't speak to me of your religion unless it holds as a basic truth that ALL life is sacred, not just human life, that "Thou shalt not kill" extends to all sentient beings, not just those few that Man deems "worthy". Don't show me a religion based on cruelty and oppression of non-human beings. Veganism IS my religion, and if all humans embraced its basic tenets they would find their heaven right here on Earth." ~Barry Taylor |

When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man we call him a vandal. When he destroys one of the works of god we call him a sportsman. ~Joseph Wood Krutch
