Veg Wisdom

There is no more rewarding choice than to be part of that community of people making a difference. I like to think we are all little trickles of water, but when we act together we flow into a powerful river. - Janice Stanger, PhD

Veg Spotlight

I am passionate about my food, and I put all my heart into everything I make which is why I call them Vegan Heart Cakes. Everything is prepared fresh and with love. There are no nasty additives, they are mainly organic, gluten free, sugar and soya free, powered by superfoods. - Jo Tyszczuk, Vegan Heart Cakes, Bournemouth, UK


Veg Wisdom

The man who asked me if I was vegan and told me about the dairy and egg industry was Vegan Bob, a radio show host and animal advocate. He came to visit The Gentle Barn after I had just opened it and he asked if I was vegan. He told me how the dairy industry impregnates cows, kills the babies, and steals the milk for humans to drink. And that was the day I went vegan. - Ellie Laks, Founder, Author, Ted-X Speaker


Veg Wisdom

As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness. - Richard Gere


Veg Spotlight

Erin Williams, Washington, DC, presents to EVEN, "Saving Animals and the Planet with Your Fork"

Erin's concern for animals was sparked as a result of spending much of her childhood on her family's dairy farm in rural Illinois. As co-author of Why Animals Matter: The Case for Animal Protection, she offers an overview of industries that exploit animals---factory farms, experimentation, entertainment, the pet industry, fur, and sport hunting---and addresses the environmental and social justice effects of animal exploitation.

Veg Wisdom

All creation has the same right to life. - Sun Bear, Chippewa Medicine Man (1929-1992)



Veg Wisdom

I have a rule of life that I will not ask anyone to do my dirty work for me. I would never kill a creature or a chicken or even a fish, so I no longer eat flesh. - Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981)



Veg Wisdom

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 Edison



Veg Wisdom

It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion towards our fellow creatures. - Mahatma Gandhi, (1869-1948)

Veg Wisdom

Veganism is a revolution of the heart, a call for a world of greater peace, health, and harmony created through expanding our circles of compassion. - Dr. Joanne Kong

Veg Wisdom

There is no humane way to kill an animal who didn't want to die.


Veg Wisdom

Ideas are powerful things. And the insight that other species are beings like ourselves ---different but not inferior, and that they deserve to be treated with consideration and respect--- is an idea whose time has come. - Gary Kowalski

Veg Wisdom

I love chicks... pigs, cows, fish, and all the other animals too. That's why I turned vegetarian. I am very happy being a vegetarian and I believe that it is the best way to be. The day I started believing in the fact that I would want not to kill animals for my taste buds that is the day everything changed for me. - Shahid Kapoor, Actor and PETA India's Sexiest Vegetarian 2009


Veg Wisdom

Mankind cannot, I submit, save itself from destruction through mere cleverness of scientific technology selfishly applied, nor through wishful thinking. But through a deep sense of brotherhood of all life, and a willingness and eagerness on the part of each and every person to work constructively for the preservation and enhancement of life, mankind may yet be preserved and go forward into the next millennium with confidence, competence and compassion. - H.Jay Dinshah (1933-2000), President of the American Vegan Society at The Vegetarian Way, XXIV World Vegetarian Congress, 1977

AHIMSA


Veg Wisdom

Cruelty to ... animals is one of the distinguishing vices of low and base minds. Wherever it is found, it is a certain mark of ignorance and meanness; a mark which all the external advantages of wealth, splendour, and nobility cannot obliterate. It is consistent neither with learning nor true civility. - Sir William Jones (1746 - 1794), English Poet and Philologist
