"The gods created certain kinds of beings to replenish our bodies; they are the trees and the plants and the seeds."
"I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed. I saw and felt their pain. They felt the approaching death. I could not bear it. I cried like a child. I ran up a hill and could not breathe. I felt that I was choking. I felt the death of the lamb."


"I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry, and unhappy like we do. It was my dog ... who led me to question the right of humans to eat other sentient beings."
