The greatness of a nation and its moral
progress can be judged by the way
its animals are treated ~ Mohandas Gandhi
*************
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard
also in his dealings with men.
We can judge the heart of a man by his
treatment of animals.
*************
"A dog is not "almost human," and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such
*************
"If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience."
*************
Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals)
is our first duty to them, but to stop
there is not enough.
We have a higher mission - to be of service
to them whenever they require it.
If you have men who will exclude any of
God's creatures from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who will deal
likewise with their fellow men."
Saint Francis of Assis
