When you spread out your hands, I close My eyes to you; despite however much you pray, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood! Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before My eyes and stop doing evil.\u201d<br \/>\u2013<em>Isaiah 1:11, 1:15-16<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCan you really ask what reason Pythagoras had for abstaining from flesh? For my part, I rather wonder both by what accident and in what state of soul or mind the first man did so, touched his mouth to gore and brought his lips to the flesh of a dead creature, he who set forth tables of dead, stale bodies, and ventured to call food and nourishment the parts that had a little before bellowed and cried, moved and lived. How could his eyes endure the slaughter when throats were slit and hides flayed and limbs torn from limb? How could his nose endure the stench? How was it that the pollution did not turn away his taste, which made contact with the sores of others and sucked juices and serums from mortal wounds?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is certainly not lions and wolves that we eat out of self-defense; on the contrary, we ignore these and slaughter harmless, tame creatures without stings or teeth to harm us, creatures that, I swear, Nature appears to have produced for the sake of their beauty and grace. But nothing abashed us, not the flower-like like tinting of the flesh, not the persuasiveness of the harmonious voice, not the cleanliness of their habits or the unusual intelligence that may be found in the poor wretches. No, for the sake of a little flesh we deprive them of sun, of light, of the duration of life to which they are entitled by birth and being.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Plutarch<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Albert Einstein<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Henry David Thoreau<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe 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 \u2018real food for real people,\u2019 you\u2019d better live real close to a real good hospital.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPeople 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.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Isaac Singer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf any kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming they would never touch meat again.

I\u2019m not. I say its a free country and you should be able to kill yourself at any rate you choose, as long as your cold dead body is not blocking my driveway.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Scott Adams, author of <em>Dilbert<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. We feel better about ourselves and better about the animals, knowing we\u2019re not contributing to their pain.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Paul and Linda McCartney<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI grew up in cattle country\u2014that\u2019s why I became a vegetarian. Meat stinks, for the animals, the environment, and your health.\u201d<br \/>\u2013K.D. Lang, musician and singer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf you could see or feel the suffering you wouldn\u2019t think twice. Give back life. Don\u2019t eat meat.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Kim Basinger, actress<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t bought any leather articles for a very long time. My ideal is to be able to avoid all animal products, in food as well as clothing.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Martina Navratilova<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cMy respect and empathy towards animals includes sea dwellers, too\u2013from dolphins to fish to lobsters. So, of course, I wouldn\u2019t dream of eating them.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Alexandra Paul, actress<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAnimals are my friends\u2014and I don\u2019t eat my friends.\u201d<br \/>\u2013George Bernard Shaw<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCompassion is the foundation of everything positive, everything good. If you carry the power of compassion to the marketplace and the dinner table, you can make your life really count.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Rue McClanahan, actress<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe stopped eating meat many years ago. During the course of a Sunday lunch, we happened to look out of the kitchen window at our young lambs playing happily in the fields. Glancing down at our plates, we suddenly realized we were eating the leg of an animal who had until recently been playing in a field herself. We looked at each other and said, \u201cWait a minute, we love these sheep; they\u2019re such gentle creatures. So why are we eating them?\u201d It was the last time we ever did.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Paul and Linda McCartney, musicians and singers<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHow can you eat anything with eyes?\u201d<br \/>\u2013Will Kellogg<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe consume the carcasses of creatures of like appetites, passions, and organs with our own, and fill the slaughterhouses daily with screams of pain and fear.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Robert Louis Stevenson<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYou have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed In the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was old enough to realize all meat was killed, I saw it as an irrational way of using our power, to take a weaker thing and mutilate it. It was like the way bullies would take control of younger kids in the schoolyard. I\u2019ve always felt somewhat out of place with other kids my own age. I was constantly reminded by people\u2019s reaction to our names and our diet that we seemed weird to them.\u201d<br \/>\u2013River Phoenix, actor<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI think there will come a time, and this is down the road a great many years, when civilized people will look back in horror on our generation and the ones that have preceded it: the idea that we should eat other living things running around on four legs, that we should raise them just for the purpose of killing them! The people of the future will say, \u2018meat-eaters!\u2019 in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Dennis Weaver, actor<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cDo we, as humans, having an ability to reason and to communicate abstract ideas verbally and in writing, and to form ethical and moral judgments using the accumulated knowledge of the ages, have the right to take the lives of other sentient organisms, particularly when we are not forced to do so by hunger or dietary need, but rather do so for the somewhat frivolous reason that we like the taste of meat? In essence, should we know better?\u201d<br \/>\u2013Peter Cheeke<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAnimal factories are one more sign of the extent to which our technological capacities have advanced faster than our ethics.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Peter Singer, author and teacher<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand why asking people to eat a well-balanced vegetarian diet is considered drastic, while it is medically conservative to cut people open and put them on cholesterol-lowering drugs for the rest of their lives.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Dean Ornish, MD<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t eat chicken anymore. I won\u2019t eat it. I won\u2019t allow it in my house.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Rodney Leonard, U.S. poultry inspector<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBased on my experience in Los Angeles, my advice to the public is not to eat meat.\u201d<br \/>\u2013Gregorio Natavidad, meat inspector<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTo become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.\u201d\u2013Buddha \u201cOne is dearest to God who has no enemies among the living beings, who is nonviolent to all creatures.\u201d\u2013Bhagavad Gita \u201cHe that slayeth an ox is as he that killeth a human.\u201d\u2013Isaiah \u201cWe should remember in our dealings with animals that they [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12022],"tags":[1683,14385,36820,16924],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-7026304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-activist","tag-animals","tag-eating","tag-heard","tag-voices"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
