COMPASSIONATE APPEALS
Animals cannot speak, but can you and I not speak for them and represent them? Let us all feel their silent cry of agony and let us all help that cry to be heard in the world.
-Rukmini Devi Arundale
Non-violence and kindness to living beings is kindness to oneself. For thereby one's own self is saved from various kinds of sins and resultant sufferings and is able to secure his own welfare.
- Mahavira
The time will come when men will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.
-Leonardo da Vinci
Until we extend our circle of compassion to include every living creature we cannot enjoy WORLD PEACE'.
----Albert Schweitzer
'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
We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings.
- Mahatma Gandhi
