“The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.”- Alice Walker
"But for the sake of some little mouthful of meat, we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy." - Seneca, Roman philosopher
"No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does." - Henry David Thoreau
