Quotes on vegetarianism
- "There is not a single argument nor a single fact that can be offered in favour of flesh eating that cannot be offered, with equal strength, in favour of cannibalism." -Herbert Shelton
- "But for the sake of a little mouthful of flesh we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that proportion of life and time it had been born to enjoy" -Plutarch
- "Here's a test you can try at home: put a two-year-old in a playpen with an apple and a rabbit. If it plays with the apple and eats the rabbit, you've got a carnivore." -Dan Piraro
- "A man can live and 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. And to act so is immoral." -Henry David Thoreau
- "Cruelty is cruelty, whether it’s cruelty to children, to the elderly, to dogs and cats, or to chickens." -Russel Simmons
