Gary Yourofsky Quote on the Victim Role of Animals
“The problem is that humans have victimized animals to such a degree that they are not even considered victims. They are not even considered at all. They are nothing; they don’t count; they don’t matter. They are commodities like TV sets and cell phones. We have actually turned animals into inanimate objects – sandwiches and shoes.”

A Third Weak in Spirit – Prof. Cyril Höschl
“A third of the people in this country are weak in spirit. One in seven citizens is stupid or demented or an alcoholic. About half of the country’s population has below-average intellect. These people, and it is half of the nation, escape the diversity and ambiguity of the world, and what is left of this world in their eyes can be divided into quite simple, mostly anti-polar elements. It’s sometimes called black and white thinking.”
Prof. Cyril Höschl

Natalie Portman on “Eating Animals” and Veganism
“When I read [Eating Animals], that was what made me become a vegan. I think until then, I had thought, “Oh, with eggs and dairy, you’re not killing animals. It’s just their natural byproducts.” But when I started learning about the conditions—and the environmental effect of all these animals and the impact on humans of having large groups of sick animals together, it really made me want to change immediately.”
