May 6


Compassion for animals is so natural to us that we can become insensitive to their suffering and death only through traditions or hypnosis.

Compassion for animals is as closely connected with kindness that you can truly say that a person cannot be kind if he is cruel to animals. Compassion for animals comes from the same source as compassion toward people.
— Arthur Schopenhauer

Fear God, do not torture animals. Let them serve you, and let them rest when they are tired; provide enough food and drink for those creatures which cannot speak.
— Mohammed

A person is not higher than other animals because he can mercilessly torture them, but because he can take pity on them.
— Buddhist Wisdom

Do not allow your children to kill insects; this is the first step along a road which can lead to the killing of people.
— Pythagoras
