The most prevailing evil in modern society is the meat-industry. The
meat-industry is the biggest mass murder of living entities ever
perpetrated on this planet They kill living entities to the rate of
thousands per second every single day, the world over.
Never before has the world seen such a mass-slaughter of living
entities. Of course, the public don’t witness these crimes, because
the actual slaughter takes place behind thick walls, and no one,
except the workers in the slaughter-house, are allowed to see what’s
actually going on.
Even more insidious and evil than the slaughter itself, is the modern
propaganda machine, making people think, that to eat meat is the
normal and accepted way of life. People don’t even see anything wrong
with such a life-style.
So, to rid the world of this evil, two things are needed - an
immediate close-down of all slaughter-houses, and educating the
general public in the higher values of life, so that they may realize
the great sin that lies in supporting the meat-industry.
If slaughterhouses had glass walls the whole world would be
vegetarian." —Linda McCartney
If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop
eating meat. That's the single most important thing you can do. It's
staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so
many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty. —Paul McCartney
You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is
concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity."
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of
character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to
animals cannot be a good man” –-Arthur Schopenhauer, Philosopher
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all
evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still
savages. –-Thomas A. Edison, inventor and scientist
You're not an environmentalist if you eat meat. —James Cameron,
Hollywod Director
As far as eating is concerned, humans are the most stupid animal on
the planet. We kill billions of wild animals to protect the animals
that we eat. We are destroying our environment to feed the animals
that we eat. We spend more time, money and resources fattening up the
animals that we eat, than we do feeding humans who are dying of
hunger. The greatest irony of this is that after all the expenses of
raising these animals, we eat them; and they kill us slowly... And
rather than recognize this madness, we torture and murder millions of
other animals to find cure to diseases caused by eating animals in the
first place. -- Mike Anderson
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival
of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet"
--Albert Einstein
We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation and have treated our
distant cousins in fur and feather so badly that, beyond doubt, if
they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the devil in
human form." —William Ralph
To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable
in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with
the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the
man who causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are
uselessly butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man
were to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the
unpardonable crime." —Romain Rolland, author, Nobel Prize 1915
I have no doubt that it is part of the destiny of the human race in
its gradual improvement to leave off eating animals. — Henry David
Thoreau
People often say that humans have always eaten animals as if this is a
justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we
should not try to prevent people from murdering other people, since
this has also been done since the earliest of times." —Isaac Bashevis
Singer, author, Nobel Prize 1978
Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is -
whether its victim is human or animal - we cannot expect things to be
much better in this world... We cannot have peace among men whose
hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that
glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing we set
back the progress of humanity." —Rachel Carson
