 "Nothing will benefit health of mankind

as much as evolution to a vegetarian feeding-pattern".

(Albert Einstein)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"From my childhood up, I've sworn of consumption of meat

and the time will come, that people like me will look upon killing animals,

the way they look upon murdering human beings, now".

 

(Leonardo Da Vinci)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"I saw them live and cannot bear, to see them being killed;

I heard their screams of pain and refuse, to eat their meat."

 

(Confusius)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Man is created for better things, than killing animals;

no cruelty at all is of use".

 

(Cicero)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"As long as there are abattoirs, there will be battlefields".

 

(Tolstoi)

"The level of a civilization can be measured

by the way, in which animals are treaten"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Think of all sensing beings as of your own children;

purify your hearts and stop killing.

Be full of love and kindness to every living being".

 

(Boeddha)

 

 Comment of the NF:

This seems unrealistic. One cannot expect of anybody, that (s)he thinks of for instance a rat "as of her/his own children". But one can accept it's being there and take care, one doesn't do anything wrong to it. Also one cannot be expected to be "full of love" to for instance a pestbacterium. But one can accept it's function in nature's system and do what one can, to prevent, that it has to come in action.

About the same goes for the next quotation.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Love for all beings is man's most noble quality".

 

(Ch.Darwin)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

"All life is holy, and that's it !"

 

(William Blake)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
