"I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it." - Abraham Lincoln Isn't it amazing how it still continues....we really haven't gotten very far, have we? |
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth......Henry Beston |
No one in the world needs a mink coat but a mink. ~Murray Banks Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote. ~Paul Harvey Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game. ~Paul Rodriguez People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. ~Author Unknown |
Wow, you guys. This is the first thread I read this morning and I'm so blown away. What a GREAT way to start the day. I love everything that's been posted. Now I have to go read them all again :). I think quotes like these help w/ the "compassion fatigue" that can set in for those who really care about animal welfare....so thanks for the uplift! :) |

I LOVE this one! Thank you for sharing it with all of us. |
oohh I love quotes..... "People who talk to their dog aren't crazy; they just operate on a different level than the rest of us" Jack Naters "The dog has the enviable mind; it remembers the nice things in life and quickly blots out the nasty." Barbara Woodhouse "Every boy should have two things: a dog and a mother willing to let him have one." Robert Benchley not a quote but I love this- maybe you all have seen it before--- The Yorkshire Terrier There are many little terrier dogs Of every size and hue, But the one I'd like to mention here Is shaded tan and blue. She's a cocky little devil And she isn't any saint, But a sappy little lap-dog Is the very thing she ain't! She struts along the garden path Her eyes boot-button bright, And God help any straying cat That comes into her sight. Her owners fear no burglars For every sound she hears, The softest, quietest footsteps Will not pass her pricked up ears. And if she is disturbed at night Or danger is at hand, She makes more of a racket Than a fifty piece brass band! |
I used to look at my dog, Smoky, and think, "If you were smarter, you could tell me what you're thinking", and he'd look at me like he was saying, "If you were smarter, I wouldn't have to." - Fred Junglcaus If you think a dog can't count, put three treats in your pocket and only give him two. - (don't remember!) If you think you are someone of importance, try bossing someone else's dog. - (don't remember) There is something to be said at how quickly a dog makes friends in comparison with a human. - Anonymous |
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. ~Ben Williams |
:thumbup: They're all great:) |
Having heard all of this, you may choose to look the other way ... but you can never say again that you did not know. -- William Wilberforce (1759-1833, British abolitionist & founder of SPCA) {...one of my all time HEROES...if you've never seen the movie "Amazing Grace"...oooo...I *highly* recommend it! :)} |

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. -- Author Unknown |
