Abraham Lincoln
“I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.”
Abraham Lincoln

Alice Walker
“Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored”
Alice Walker

Rai Aren
“Know that the same spark of life that is within you, is within all of our animal friends, the desire to live is the same within all of us...”
Rai Aren

Romain Rolland
“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

Arthur Schopenhauer
“The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Basis of Morality
