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.
