A Promise To My Dog

The cruel humans may break your heart and may hurt your body.
But have comfort in knowing they cannot harm your soul.
And never ever give them the power to break your spirit.
( Rose Winfold )

My life is sad, miserable and painful, but it’s the only thing I have.
Please don’t take it from me.

Dogs deserve the love they keep on giving to everyone else.

Good training is a promise and a gift to your dog.
A promise you will keep them safe and a gift of freedom.
( Sarah Wilson )

Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin by ending the unnecessary slaughter of animals.

If you can’t stand looking at images of your food being produced, then you shouldn’t be eating it.

If you visit the killing floor of a slaughter house, it will brand your soul for life.
( Howard Lyman )

‘Farmers’ are creatures with no conscience or compassion who profit from enslaving, abusing, hurting, and killing innocent, vulnerable animals.

A Promise To My Dog.
I will never move and not take you with me.
I will never put you in a shelter and leave.
I will never let you go hungry.
I will never let you get hurt.
I will never desert you when you get old and blind.
When the time comes, I will be there to hold you.
Because I love you and you are my family.

‘Badgers are over-running the country, they’re destroying farmers’ livelihoods, and they must be culled.’
This contemptible fairy tale is central to the Government’s wholly underhand campaign to force the badger cull on an unsuspecting public.
It works on the basis that if MPs and farming unions repeat the same mantras often enough they will magically become gospel.
The fact that it’s all rubbish doesn’t matter, as long as it takes a foothold in the public consciousness.
( Mark Carwardine, Zoologist )

If you’re having lamb for dinner, be sure to give them a good seat at the table.

When violence and abuse is normalised, those who speak out against it are called extremists.

If you, too, can come to love this land as our ancestors did, all the problems of the world will fall away like autumn leaves in the wind.
( Tony Ten Fingers )

Life is all we have, and you humans don’t even allow us to have that.

Food is grown in the ground and harvested.
It’s not born, enslaved and brutally slaughtered.

What is most offensive and disgusting about ‘hunting’, is that the ‘law’ allows us not only to kill but to take a certain pleasure in killing.
( Florence Emily Hookins, 1896-1962 )

When you have the love of a dog, you have everything.

Mess with me, I fight back.
Mess with my dog?
They will never find your body.

It is hard to comprehend how frightening and confusing it must be for any wild animal to find itself suddenly seized and held captive in a small barren cage.
( Joanna Lumley )

More animal experiments were carried out in the UK in 2013 than at any point since records began in 1986.
Over 4.1 million!

Have no doubt.
Anyone who abuses animals is likely to harm your children, or you.

Sadly, the first day of freedom for many animals is the day they die.
( Eileen Hutchison, 1926-2008 )

A chained dog is a choked soul.

If the most loving souls were rewarded by living the longest, dogs and cows would outlive most others.

If we cut up animals simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are helping ourselves in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up rapists, paedophiles and murderers for the same reasons.
( Florence Emily Hookins, 1896-1962 )

The “I love animals” only goes so far for many people.
Then it’s about how good rotting flesh tastes.

Humanity is to accept, to acknowledge, to value, to be tolerant and kind to all living beings we share this wonderful planet with.

A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives.
( Albert Schweitzer )

May all living beings be happy.
May they be peaceful.
May they be safe.
May they be free.

Unless we are willing to encourage our children to reconnect with and appreciate the natural world, we can’t expect them to help protect and care for it.
( David Suzuki )

The time will come when people understand the murder of an animal is as heinous as the murder of a person.

Cruelty, greed, and selfishness is a mental disorder that many suffer from.

People who care about animals tend to care about people.
They don’t care about animals to the exclusion of people.
Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it’s like a muscle.
The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
( Jonathan Safran Foer )

Asking you to give us equal rights implies they are yours to give.
Instead, we demand that you stop denying us the rights all animals deserve.

The notion that we can be ‘kind’, ‘compassionate’, or ‘humane’ to the animals whom we bring into the world to slaughter and eat is one of the most profoundly perverse and delusional ideas in the history of human thought.
( Gary L. Francione )

Blessed be the person who takes in and loves an old dog.
For their time with us is more important than our time with them.

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal.
Difficult standards for people to live up to.
( Alfred A. Montapert )

We hate dog breeders because they are selfish, money-making, puppy-producing morons, responsible for over-population and full animal shelters.
Don’t breed or buy while shelter animals die.
Choose to save a life.

The day may come when the rest of animal creation may acquire those rights which never could have been withholden from them but by the hand of tyranny.
( Jeremy Bentham )

To many you may be just one crazy vegan, but to the animals you are their only hope.

Both Christmas and Easter are pagan festivals dressed up as Christian ones.
Hence the medieval, brutal animal sacrifices (made legal and acceptable by calling it slaughter).
Peace and goodwill, celebrating the life of one person, and ending the life of millions, no, billions of others.
Humans, who claim to be the most intelligent species on the planet, haven’t progressed very far, have they?
Cruelty, greed and ignorance is still the norm for many.
( Rose Winfold )

You can’t say you don’t discriminate if you discriminate against innocent animals simply for your convenience and taste.

To give preference to the life of a being simply because that being is a member of our species would put us in the same position as racists who give preference to those who are members of their race.
( Peter Singer )

Animals love and care and feel and dream and hope and wonder.
They worry, they have problems, they have fears, they suffer pain, they become ill.
Just as humans do.

Countries that eat dogs and cats are cruel and barbaric.
They should just eat chickens, cows and pigs like normal people.
( I.M. Ignorant )

If you can’t show animals kindness and compassion.
If you can’t do anything to help them.
Then please, at least do them no harm.

It is a federal system of sadistic torture, vivisection, and animal genocide, which has been carried on for decades under the fraudulent guise of respectable medical research.
And nobody on the outside knows, or wants to know, or is willing to find out.
( Michael Tobias )

Every life has worth.
Every life deserves respect.
Every life.

Hunting and fishing involve killing animals with devices (such as guns) for which the animals have not evolved natural defences.
No animal on earth has adequate defence against a human armed with a gun, a bow and arrow, a trap that can maim, a snare that can strangle, or a fishing lure designed for the sole purpose of fooling fish into thinking they have found something to eat.
( Marc Bekoff )

The assholes that call themselves ‘hunters’ often like to hang signs that say, ‘Gone Hunting’.
But what these signs really mean is ‘Gone Killing’.

Becoming vegan is the most important and direct change we can immediately make to save the planet and its species.
( Chris Hedges )

We all have a choice.
We can choose cruelty and violence.
Or we can choose compassion and peace.

The indifference, callousness, and contempt that so many people exhibit toward animals is evil first because it results in great suffering towards animals, and second because it results in an incalculably great impoverishment of human spirit.
( Ashley Montagu )

You humans drink our milk and eat the eggs of the chickens and the ducks.
Isn’t that enough for you?
Isn’t it enough that we give you our children and what’s meant for our children?
And if not, when is it enough?
All you humans do is take, take, take from the earth and its beautiful creatures, and what do you give back?
Nothing.

I know humans consider it a grave insult to be called an animal.
Well, I would never give a human the fine distinction of being called an animal, because an animal may kill to live but an animal never lives to kill.
Humans have to earn the right to be called animals again.
( David Duchovny )

Let’s not kid ourselves, animals in zoos hate us.
There’s nothing to love or like about monsters who cage you and steal your freedom.

Cultural indoctrination makes stupid people believe there’s nothing wrong in Meat-Eating.
There is.
Who eat it, lose ‘It’.
( Fakeer Ishavardas )

Your food had a mother and a father.
Your food had a heart and a brain.
Your food had thoughts and emotions.
Your food felt fear and pain.
Your food trusted you.
Your food didn’t want to die.

Zoo is inhuman, it is unethical, and it is sick and stupid.
Just because children and their ignorant parents go and have some fun there, slavery and torture cannot be justified.
A society which has zoos does not deserve to be free.
You deserve freedom only if you let others to be free, including animals.
( Mehmet Murat ildan )

Most people have become educated, but many people have not yet become human, many still behave like barbaric savages.

The right to lead a life free of fear is a fundamental right of all living beings.
But this fundamental right is being brutally violated by humans in animal testing, meat and dairy industry, circus, zoos, aquariums, and sports.
( Ama H.Vanniarachchy )
