"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

And like us they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive." Joaquin Rafael Phoenix
