Quotes About Animals

Animals feel pain and love and joy, just as humans. But in the industrialised meat, dairy, and egg industries, animals are denied everything that's natural and important to them. Some of them don't even feel the fresh air. They don't see the light.
~ Sylvie Guillem

Whenever and wherever men have engaged in the mindless slaughter of animals (including other men), they have often attempted to justify their acts by attributing the most vicious or revolting qualities to those they would destroy; and the less reason there is for the slaughter, the greater the campaign of vilification. Antiwolf feelings at Brochet (the northern Manitoba base for my winter studies) when I arrived there from Wolf House Bay were strong and bitter.
~ Farley Mowat

Los animales no son cosas y tienen alma y no son negociables ni manipulables y hay una jerarquía en ellos que se establece según la complejidad de sus sistemas nerviosos, por los cuales sufren y sienten como nosotros: la jerarquía del dolor.
~ Fernando Vallejo
El idioma está tan indefenso como los animales. Todos los atropellan con impunidad. Y esas dos causas perdidas son las que he tomado como mías, por el gusto de perder.
~ Fernando Vallejo
Pobres animales atropellados por el hombre, despreciados por la Iglesia y dejados a su suerte por la mano infame de Dios.
~ Fernando Vallejo
El idioma está tan indefenso como los animales. Todos los atropellan con impunidad. Y esas dos causas perdidas son las que he tomado como mías, por el gusto de perder. El éxito es para los granujas. Y si no, pásenles revista a los presidentuchos actuales de América a ver si encuentran entre ellos a un señor.
~ Fernando Vallejo
Dans les luttes animales, [il n'y a] aucun acharnement cruel, aucune férocité gratuite. En fait, l'homme seul est vraiment bestial, les animaux ne le sont jamais. La cruauté sadique est humaine.
~ Frédéric Gros
How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul.
~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

I mean, the human race, we are a tribe, let's face it, and let's stop all this religious bullshit. I think everybody, or at least a lot of my friends, are just so exhausted with this whole self-importance of religious people. Just drop it. We're all fucking animals, so let's just make some universal tribal beat. We're pagan. Let's just march.
~ Bjork
Now I take care of animals. I go to their homes while their owners are away and feed them and groom them and play with them. They don't ask a lot of questions or expect much from me, and I don't have to interact with people any more than I choose to. At least most of the time.
~ Blaize Clement
