Animal Welfare /
Advocacy
"The awful wrongs
and sufferings forced upon the innocent, faithful animal race, form the blackest
chapter in the whole world's
history. Edward Augustus Freeman
"There can be no
justification for causing suffering to animals simply to serve man's pleasure or
simply to enhance man's lifestyle." The Dean of York
“It has
always been comforting to the dominant group to assume that those in subservient
positions do not suffer or feel pain as keenly, or at all.”
When Elephants Weep, by Jeffrey Moussaieff & Susan McCarthy
Never be afraid to speak the truth – the voiceless need courageous individuals
to step forward and persevere. Silence is deafening, if not deadly. Carmina
Gooch
It’s common
sense
that animals have emotions. It’s all about money, greed, uncaringness &
self-interest that we exploit all species and the whole planet for humans only.
"In this culture,
especially with regard, or lack of regard, to nonhuman animals, it is often
easier to get away with murder than it is to save lives."
David Sztybel,
Canadian philosopher in animal ethics
