“As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.” ~Pythagoras

“There will come a time when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” ~Leonardo da Vinci

“Thou shalt not kill” does not apply to murder of one’s own kind only, but to all living beings; and this Commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai.” ~Leo Tolstoy
