Bogus Vegetarians
Adolf Hitler (He called himself a vegetarian because he didn't eat a LOT of meat. Definately NOT a vegetarian.)

"I know what it feels like to be hurt,and I don't want to cause that pain to any other person or creature. But somehow, in society, we numb ourselves in order to make money or to feel better about ourselves, such as with cosmetics or food. We say to ourselves, I'm going to use this animal. I'm going to say it doesn't have much worth so that I can allow myself to do these cruel things. And that just isn't fair. "
Alicia Silverstone
"Compassion is the foundation of everything positive, everything good. If you carry the power of compassion to the marketplace and the dinner table, you can make your life really count. "
Rue McClanahan
"As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness. "
Richard Gere
"If you could see or feel the suffering you wouldn't think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat. "
Kim Basinger
monday
- 'it's mart day' she said:
- the trailer's packed with wool bales
- or are these beings with beating hearts hid
- deep inside their fleece
- with so much fear or terror
- and on their way to market?
- Another truck goes by
- the driver munching devil food.
- The sun shines while bipeds chat.
- The sign along the road with painted pig says
- 'home reared pork' for sale.
- 'Where are you pig?' I wonder.
- ' And what do you think of this?'
- children cowskin shod and sheep fleece laced
- play beneath the sign
- dribbling chocolate stolen from a sentient milk machine
- her birth babe shot
- discharged as mucused muck from snotty noses.
- We hold the devil's fork and enter temples
- praying for peace
- and then go home and feed on silent screams
- ranting that the world out there is such a mess.
- What a bloody joke.
