Anyone against environmental destruction should stop eating meat.
Jane Goodall (born 1934)

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
Writer
It is therefore a completely unjustified accusation that vegetarians do not consistently follow their moral principles if they do not avoid destroying plants, i.e. do not starve so as not to destroy other people's lives. On the other hand, the people who declare eating animal corpses to be justified because the plant is also an animated and sentient being are acting inconsistently if they do not also declare eating human flesh to be justified.
Magnus Schwantje (1877-1959), animal rights activist, pacifist, author.
I am both a vegetarian and a passionate anti-alcoholic because it allows me to make better use of my brain.

Love for humans and love for animals are as connected as personal peace and political peace.

What do we expect from a religion if we exclude compassion for animals?
Richard Wagner (1813-1883),composer
I don't know how God will evaluate my life's work. In the last few weeks I have written over fifty pages of Parsifal and saved the lives of three young dogs. Let's wait and see what weighs more heavily on the scales.
Richard Wagner (1813-1883),composer
True human culture only exists when not only cannibalism, but every type of meat consumption is considered cannibalism.

I am a vegetarian. I believe animals deserve better than to be eaten by us.
