Tu ne tueras point.
- Sixième commandement

I undertake the training rule to abstain from taking life.
- first precept (five precepts, buddhism)

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. We feel better about ourselves and better about the animals, knowing we’re not contributing to their pain.
- Paul and Linda McCartney

Si l’homme civilisé devait tuer lui-même les animaux qu’il mange, le nowambre des végétariens augmentrait de façon astronomique.
- Christian Morgenstern

A human can be healthy without killing animals for food. Therefore if he eats meat he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.
- Leo Tolstoy

Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn’t meant to be, and we have no right to do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she’s truly beautiful.
- Doris Day

You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I’ll buy you a new car.
- Harvey Diamond

It does take a little work to be a vegetarian but it’s so worth it, oh it’s so worth it!
- Tippi Hedren

I do not regard flesh-food as necessary for us at any stage and under any clime in which it is possible for human beings ordinarily to live. I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species. We err in copying the lower animal world – if we are superior to it.
- Mohandas Ghandi

May all that have life be delivered from suffering.
- Buddha

To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.
- Buddha

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
- A. Whitney Brown

Being vegan helped me realize I can say and do what I believe is right. That’s powerful.
- Alicia Silverstone

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body.
- Mohandas Ghandi

I think there will come a time, and this is down the road a great many years, when civilized people will look back in horror on our generation and the ones that have preceded it: the idea that we should eat other living things running around on four legs, that we should raise them just for the purpose of killing them! The people of the future will say, meat-eaters in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.
- Dennis Weaver

I stopped eating beef at 13 and stopped eating all meat a few years ago. I would feel guilty that what was on my plate was walking around yesterday. Either I could live with that or stoping eating meat. I choose the latter, and I’m happier for it.
- Carrie Underwood

Hunting is not a sport.  In a sport, both sides should know they’re in the game.
- Paul Rodriguez

According to the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, fish have feelings too. Whenever my sons go fishing they always tell me, “Dad it doesn’t hurt a fish to get hooked.” Well I watch and I see and I believe it’s painful for the fish.
- Donald Trump

Intellectually, human beings and animals may be different, but it’s pretty obvious that animals have a rich emotional life and that they feel joy and pain. It’s easy to forget the connection between a hamburger and the cow it came from. But I forced myself to acknowledge the fact that every time I ate a hamburger, a cow had ceased to breathe and moo and walk around.
- Moby

There are viable (and usually better) alternatives to the use of animals for food, sport, clothing, & experimentation. I beg you to discontinue any actions that might cause or condone animal torture, abuse, or destruction.
- Moby

Basically we should stop doing those things that are destructive to the environment, other creatures, and ourselves and figure out new ways of existing.
- Moby

The thinking man must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another, even the lowliest creature; to do so is to renounce our manhood and shoulder a guilt which nothing justifies.
- Albert Schweitzer

There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.
- Isaac Bashevis Singer

How can you eat anything with eyes?
- Will Kellogg

Animals are my friends-and I don’t eat my friends.
- George Bernard Shaw

What is it that should trace the insuperable line? …The question is not, Can they reason? nor Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
- Jeremy Bentham

I would not want to get to know a pig very well if I intended to eat him.
- Pat Leight

Humans are the only hunters who kill when not hungry.
- Steven Spielberg

They’ve been trying to test on animals for the past 50 years. Nobody’s come up with a cure. If you want to test on somebody, test on me.
- Montell Williams

I think it’s really disgusting that designers use fur, and it’s disgusting that people wear fur. It has to stop. It’s so unnecessary in today’s world, with the technology we have. I’m wearing fabulous “ultrasuede” tonight. This is totally the look of leather. There’s a way to get it without death involved. We should be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
- Marc Bouwer

I’ve always been an animal lover. People should be made aware of all the issues. Some people think that the whole wearing-fur thing is glamorous, but you can look good without it.
- Sadie Frost

You ask people why they have deer heads on the wall. They always say, Because it’s such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother’s attractive, but I have photographs of her.
- Ellen DeGeneres
