Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.

The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.
We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.
The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected with the fate of men.
