A few of my favorite quotes:
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
...MAHATMA GANDHI, attributed, The Welfare of Animals: The Silent Majority
If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected.
...CHIEF SEATTLE OF THE SUWAMISH TRIBE, letter to President Franklin Pierce
I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.
...ELLEN DEGENERES, attributed, Women Know Everything!
