"A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives"

   ◊  Albert Schweitzer

 

        

 

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated"

   ◊  Mohandas Gandhi

 

 

"Animal factories are one more sign of the extent to which our technological capacities have advanced faster than our ethics"

   ◊  Peter Singer

 

         

 

"You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity"

   ◊  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

            

 

"A secular philosopher like Peter Singer can oppose factory farming because it's unethical by his theories of justice. An environmentalist can oppose factory farming because it's reckless stewardship. A conservative can oppose factory farming because it is destructive to small farmers and the decent ethic of husbandry those farmers live by. A religious person can oppose factory farming because it is degrading to both man and animal."
