Animals Quotes
-
The people who live here in and around Davos are proud. The hard work, which is done with great love, the way they treat animals (you very seldom see an animal being mishandled) entitle them to be proud. In most cases, work here has reached the ideal standard of being done with love. You can see it in the movements of their hands. And that, in turn, ennobles the facial expression and imbues all personal contacts with a great delicacy.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
-
Liberty is given by nature even to mute animals.
Tacitus
-
Man should regard lower animals as being in the same dependent condition as minors under his government ... For a man to torture an animal whose life God has put into his hands, is a disgrace to his species.
Ed Buckner
-
Porkchops and bacon, my two favorite animals.
Homer
-
Secondly, man sins against nature when he goes against his generic nature, that is to say, his animal nature. Now, it is evident that, in accord with natural order, the union of the sexes among animals is ordered towards conception. From this it follows that every sexual intercourse that cannot lead to conception is opposed to man's animal nature.
Thomas Aquinas
-
To attribute rights to animals is to ignore the purpose and justification of rights - to protect the interests of man.
Alex Epstein
-
If people had to spend all of every day getting enough food to eat like animals, they wouldn’t have time to make aeroplanes or bombs.
Elizabeth Jane Howard
-
God created animals. And they’re loving; they’re beautiful. I feel the way anthropologist Jane Goodall does or any of those naturalists. I don’t find my interest in animals weird or strange at all.
Michael Jackson
-
This is what you should do: love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men ... re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss what insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
-
The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.
Arthur Schopenhauer
-
I grew up around animals seven horses, dogs and now a pet goldfish named Leila and I'm rebelling against them not having a natural existence.
Isabel Lucas

Freedom is a right, not only for humanity, but for all animals.
Anthony Douglas Williams
-
I know it's not good to be weak and helpless. But I don't think it's good to be too strong either. In our society, they talk about survival of the fittest. But we're not animals. We're human.
Natsuki Takaya
-
What does have absolute meaning, however, is the way in which we treat others, including animals. We shape our universe by the love or malice, the compassion or indifference, we bring to our relationships with our fellow beings. Under the God Theory, the requirement that you treat others with respect and compassion is, for all practical purposes, a moral absolute, since all beings participate in the infinite consciousness that created them. Other rules of morality may be judged by how well they do or do not serve the common good, which is not the same at all times and all places.
Bernard Haisch
-
A curiously interested observer sees a great deal, a scientifically interested observer is worthy of all honor, and anxiously interested observer sees what others do not see, but a crazy observer sees perhaps the most, his observation is more intense and more persistent, just as the senses of certain animals are sharper than those of man.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
Always wanted to be an actress or work with animals and now I get to do both.
Julia Barr
