Leonardo da Vinci, universal genius:

Mahatma Gandhi, Nobel Prize winner:

Volker Elis Pilgrim, author:

Albert Schweitzer, physician, Nobel Peace Prize:

“My view is that we stand up for treating the animals in a considerate way, for completely renouncing the eating of meat and also for speaking out against it. This is what I do myself. And in this way many a one becomes aware of a problem that was put forward so late.”

Paul McCartney:

Wilhelm Busch, author:

George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright; Nobel Prize winner 1950:

“Animals are my friends – and I don’t eat my friends!”

Animals Have a Soul

“In every animal, but in every plant as well, the mighty creator-force is present: God, the om­nipresent universal eternal Spirit, the All-intelligence. Anyone who has just a little heart for nature can sense in the expression of an animal, or in the beauty of a plant, in the shape of a rock, or in liquid substances that Earth could be a paradise.

To justify the boundless exploitation of nature, the following words of the Creator are often quoted: Subdue the earth (Gen. 1:28). The word ”subdue,” however does not mean that animals may be tormented, forests and plants annihilated, or that everything may be destroyed that is within mankind’s grasp. The word “sub­due” means the commandment to preserve the nature kingdoms and all of the Earth. We are called upon to treat animals with love and to care for them. We are called upon to respect, cherish and love all life forms on Earth, even Earth as a whole, because everything in all things is the work of the Almighty – the love for humans, animals, plants and rocks, for the entire Earth.

Anyone who has ever cared for an animal feels that internally he has grown richer and more con­­scious of nature. But anyone who builds meat factories and slaughterhouses, or who condones these by consuming the flesh of his second neighbors, such a person’s con­scious­ness will grow ever more narrow because such a person is impoverished in his inner being.
