Animal
Exploitation
"Our grandchildren
will ask us one day: Where were you during the Holocaust of the animals?
What did you do against these horrifying crimes? We won't be able to offer
the same excuse for the second time, that we didn't know." Dr Helmut
Kaplan
"The indifference,
callousness and contempt that so many people exhibit toward animals is evil
first because it results in great suffering in animals, and second because it
results in an incalculably great impoverishment of the human spirit."
Ashley Montagu
Animals are not things nor machines,
but rather they are sentient beings whose lives matter to them. It is therefore
legitimate to consider their interests and moral worth when making decisions
about them.
We need a People's Party to overcome ignorance, prejudice and cruelty and to
bring honesty, morality, ethics and a genuine sense of caring back into
government. We need to ensure that children are taught to honour and respect all
other living creatures. We need to create a social environment in which cruelty
is unacceptable and unjustifiable and in which the vivisector, the hunter, the
butcher and the abattoir worker cannot stand unaccused. Vernon Coleman,
author
Animal Rights Human Wrongs
[Animals are] those unfortunate slaves and
victims of the most brutal part of mankind. John Stuart Mill.
1868.
Our treatment of non-human beings
can be a catalyst for a more just and compassionate society, or it can be a
symptom of a society that has lost its moral compass.
“Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it
is to the caterpillar.” ―
