Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah Quote on Animals and Compassion
“Our thinking about non-human animals is very confused, and people who have chosen to live a cruelty-free plant-based lifestyle are baffled as to why other people have not made the connection. Many of us live with companion animals such as dogs, cats, and rabbits. We share our homes with them, consider them members of the family and we grieve when they die. Yet we kill and eat other animals who, if you really think about it, are no different from the ones we love.”
Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah

Evanna Patricia Lynch on Violence and Indifference
“I’ve always abhorred violence and am highly sensitised to it. I do not think it benefits society or indeed any individual to become tolerant of violence… I feel if I can accept the abuse of these innocent, sentient creatures and my role in it then I could easily become apathetic about…well, everything, and that is a scary thought.”
Evanna Patricia Lynch

Joost A.M. Meerloo
