We don't live the lives of Eskimos. We don't need to kill animals for fashion.
-- Charlize Theron

* The squirrel that you kill in jest, dies in earnest.
-- Henry David Thoreau

"As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields."
-- Leo Tolstoy

"What I think about vivisection is that if people admit that they have the right to take or endanger the life of living beings for the benefit of many, there will be no limit to their cruelty."
-- Leo Tolstoy

* "It may be suggested by some books that it is not a sin to kill an animal, but it is written in our own hearts - more clearly than in any book - that we should take pity on animals in the same way as we do on humans."
-- Leo Tolstoy

According to the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, fish have feelings too. Whenever my sons go fishing they always tell me, "Dad it doesn't hurt a fish to get hooked." Well I watch and I see and I believe it's painful for the fish.
-- Donald Trump

* I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't...The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.
-- Mark Twain

"It is totally unconscionable to subject defenseless animals to mutilation and death, just so a company can be the first to market a new shade of nail polish or a new, improved laundry detergent. It's cruel, it's brutal, it's inhumane, and most people don't want it."
-- Abigail 'Dear Abby' Van Buren

"Cruelty to animals is one of the most significant vices of a low and ignoble people. Wherever one notices them, they constitute a sign of ignorance and brutality which cannot be painted over even by all the evidence of wealth and luxury."
-- Alexander Von Humbolt

I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.
-- Christopher Walken

* 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 created for men.
~Alice Walker

"The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary."
~Alice Walker

* "This is what you should do;
love the Earth and sun and the animals...
~ Walt Whitman

There can be no justification for causing suffering to animals simply to serve man's pleasure or simply to enhance man's lifestyle."
-- The Dean of York
