Hey World
Veg Wisdom
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. - Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)
Veg Wisdom
Ultimately, an unbiased observer of human behavior must conclude that most action is not shaped by theory, but rather theories are shaped to conform to actions we have no intention of changing. - Marjorie Spiegel, The Dreaded Comparison
Veg Wisdom
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it. - Frederic Bastiat (1801 - 1850)
Veg Wisdom
It is a terrible thing that religious people today can be so indifferent to the cruelty of the farms, shrugging it off as so much secular, animal rights foolishness. They above all should hear the call to mercy. - Matthew Scully, Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy

Veg Wisdom
We have to be aggressive when those we stick up for have no voice.... I don't consider it radical to say cruelty is wrong and that animals should be respected.... I consider it radical to eat corpses, put electrodes in animals' heads, make elephants live in chains in the circus, and poison animals we consider a nuisance.... We wish to raise awareness, shake people out of their dirty, cruel habits, and facilitate a change to a cruelty-free world. - Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA
Veg Wisdom
After they had accustomed themselves at Rome to the spectacles of the slaughter of animals, they proceeded to those of the slaughter of men, to the gladiators. - Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)

Peace is the only battle worth waging. - Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
Veg Wisdom
Nothing is more precious than peace. Nothing brings more happiness. Peace is the most basic starting point for the advancement of humankind. - Daisaku Ikeda (1928 - )

Gary Francione Interview with The Believer
We cannot justify treating any sentient nonhuman as our property, as our resource, as a thing that we can use and kill for our purposes.
- Gary Francione
There is absolutely no morally defensible distinction between flesh and other animal products, such as milk or cheese. Animals used in the dairy industry usually live longer and are treated as badly if not worse than their meat counterparts, and they all end up in the same slaughterhouse anyway. The meat and dairy industries are inextricably intertwined. As far as I am concerned, there is more suffering in a glass of milk than in a pound of steak, though I would not consume either. >>MORE
Dairy's Dark Side - The Sour Truth Behind Milk
Recently born calves were dragged away from their mothers by workers. Although this is routinely done in the dairy industry, it is a source of intense anxiety and suffering for the cow and the calf. These individuals bond closely immediately after birth. >>MORE
Tainted Beef in a Supermarket Near You?
USDA Inspector General audit reveals that beef containing dangerous pesticides, antibiotics, heavy metals, and other toxins is showing up on supermarket shelves because the government has neither set limits for the chemicals nor is it routinely testing for them. >> MORE
The man who kills the animals today is the man who kills the people who get in his way tomorrow.
- Dian Fossey (1932 - 1985)
(Dr. Fossey was an American zoologist and leading authority of the mountain gorilla. She observed eight gorilla groups in the mountain forests of Rwanda. She was brutally murdered in 1985 most likely by poachers. The case remains open.)
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
