"Ljudje - ki zasužnji, Uštrojiti, poskus na, file in druge živali - so imeli razumljivo nagnjenj pretvarjala živali ne čutijo bolečine. Ostro razlikovanje med ljudmi in živalmi "’ je bistvenega pomena, če želimo, da jih bend na naši volji, da bodo delali za nas, jih nosijo, jih jedo - brez zaskrbljujočih odtenkov krivde ali obžalovanja. To je nespodobno nas, ki se pogosto obnašajo tako unfeelingly do drugih živali, da trdijo, da lahko samo ljudje trpijo. Vedenje drugih živali ometi takšnih pretenzij Navidezen. So le preveč, kot nas.’

George Sequoia ‘Edison seems to have personally felt that its the harming (not killing) of other living beings that is consistant with one being termed a savage. Interesting?’
Karen Lakeman ‘He became vegetarian during an illness (so for health reasons) but remained so afterwards. I dont know whether he wrote this before or after and whether he was referring to cruelty….’
George Sequoia ‘I’m sure Edison lived and learned like the rest of us . But I’m just hoping it was after he tried out his electric equipement on dog’s, that he wrote that quote.’
Karen Lakeman ‘Oh! I didn’t know he did that…’
George Sequoia ‘ Yes, from what I’v read there was quite a hoohaa about his giving massive electric shocks to animals. I’m sure Edison regretted this part of his life, and I can’t condemn a man no matter what he’s done, if he realises his wrong and changes his way of living and thinking.
You cant get much worse than this….’
“1887 – Edison conducts demonstration in West Orange, New Jersey, in which he kills large numbers of cats and dogs by luring the animals onto a metal plate wired to a 1,000 volt AC generator.”

Karen Lakeman ‘Thats awful. I hope he regretted all this and made his famous quote about non-violence afterwards too’
great quotes 🙂 the leonardo di vinci quote speaks to me a lot! i also like the following quotes 🙂
“The earth affords a lavish supply of riches, of innocent foods, and offers you banquets that involve no bloodshed or slaughter; only beasts satisfy their hunger with flesh, and not even all of those, because horses, cattle, and sheep live on grass.”
-Pythagoras
In all the round world of utopia there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. And in a population that is all educated and at about the same level of physical refinement, it is practically impossible to find anyone who will hew a dead ox or pig. We never settled the hygienic aspect of meat-eating at all. This other aspect decided us. I can still remember as a boy the rejoicings over the closing of the last slaughterhouse.” -H.G. Wells
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body.” -Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948)
“One day the absurdity of the almost universal human belief in the slavery of other animals will be palpable. We shall then have discovered our souls and become worthier of sharing this planet with them.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr
“Could you look an animal in the eyes and say to it, ‘My
appetite is more important than your suffering’? – Moby
Thank you for these wonderful quotations Katie. I will put them on here.
Until one has loved an animal,
a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.
– Anatole France
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be
judged by the way its animals are treated.
– Mahatma Gandhi
Thanks Kate
How can we stop the barbaric Koreans to breed dogs for human consumption. They even wanted to ask the government to legalise the dog meat industry – this is too barbaric and too cruel as dosgs have brains and are humans’ friends.
I agree Shirley this is a barbaric and disgusting practice. How can people be that greedy and cruel?
