If he chooses the Red Pill he’ll finally learn the truth. ~James Wildman

Inspirational Vegan Quotes

• These are some of my favorite quotes I have come across…
• Never believe that animals suffer less than humans. Pain is the same for them that it is for us. Even worse, because they cannot help themselves. ~ Dr. Louis J.
• The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women were created for men. ~Alice Walker
• A morgue is used for the storage of human corpses. In modern times they have customarily been refrigerated to delay decomposition. If you store animal corpses (or parts of their corpses) in your refrigerator to delay decomposition, then your fridge is their morgue. Dinner is their funeral. And your body becomes their coffin where they slowly rot… ~ Anita Vegan-Mahdessian
• A mother’s love is universal; it’s not species-specific.
• If I would not want it done to me, I will not allow it to be done to others. “Others” includes animals. ~Andrew Kirschner

From the Bible

I am not religious but I still wanted to share this link in case you find it useful – ChristianVeg.org 

• Genesis 1:29-30 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
• Romans 14:21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
• Proverbs 15:17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.
• Ecclesiastes 3:19 Every species of animal are a race and nation of its own that we share this planet Earth with, we are no better and no more superior.
• Isaiah 11:6-9 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, and their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

“When someone becomes a monk, they need to reestablish their relationship with the animals. Animals are God’s creatures that need to be loved and cherished. Compassion towards God’s animals is one of the spiritual practices a monk must exercise to honor the name of God”.
