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.
I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.
Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal.
The question is not, 'Can they reason?' nor, 'Can they talk?' but rather, 'Can they suffer?'
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.
Animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do.
