Personal View

the heartache i get from looking at animals looking back at me from their big round eyes..is probably nothing compared to the heartache they feel from looking out of the cage

Animal Farm

Man is the only creature that consumes without producing.  He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits.  Yet he is lord of all the animals.  

- George Orwell, Animal Farm

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I quite liked that movie. It shows us that we should not mistreat our animals and if we do there will be chaos.

Alice Walker

As we talked of freedom and justice on day for all, we sat down to steaks. I am eating misery, I thought, as I took the first bite. And spit it out.

- Alice Walker

Playdough

""I am at his service," she says of her cat, Playdough. "Whatever he wants me to do is what I do."

- Halle Berry, People Magazine

If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.  
- C.S. Lewis

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls.  They always say because it's such a beautiful animal.  There you go.  I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.  

- Ellen DeGeneres
