I Saw A Cat With A Machine In His Brain
The Man Who Fed Him Said
He Didn't Feel Any Pain
I'd Like To See That Man Take Out That Machine
And Stick It In His Own Brain
You Know What I Mean
I Saw A Rabbit With Its Eyes Full Of Tears
The Lab That Owned Her Had
Been Doing It For Years
Why Don't We Make Them Pay For Every Last Eye
That Couldn't Cry Its Own Tears
Do You Kmow What I Mean

When I Tell You That We'll All Be
Looking For Changes
Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures
And We Will Learn How To Grow

Well I Tell You That We'll All Be
Looking For Changes
Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures
And We Will Learn How To Grow
When We're Looking For Changes

I Saw A Monkey That Was Learning To Choke
A Guy Beside Him Gave Him Cigarettes To Smoke
And Everytime That Monkey Started To Cough
The ******* Laughed His Head Off
Do You Know What I Mean

When I Tell You That We'll All Be
Looking For Changes
Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures
And We Will Learn How To Grow

When We're Looking For Changes
We're Looking For Changes
We're Looking For Changes

Meat Is Murder- By The Smiths

Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
Its death for no reason
And death for no reason is murder

And the calf that you carve with a smile
Is murder
And the turkey you festively slice
Is murder
Do you know how animals die ?

Kitchen aromas arent very homely
Its not comforting, cheery or kind
Its sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of murder

Its not natural, normal or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of murder

No, no, no, its murder
No, no, no, its murder
Oh ... and who hears when animals cry ?

So many gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.

I am the voice of the voiceless:
Through me, the dumb shall speak;
Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
The cry of the wordless weak.

From street, from cage and from kennel,
From jungle and stall, the wail
Of my tortured kin proclaims the sin
Of the mighty against the frail.

For love is the true religion,
And love is the law sublime;
And all that is wrought, where love is not
Will die at the touch of time.

Oh, shame on the mothers of mortals
Who have not stopped to teach
Of the sorrow that lies in dear, dumb eyes,
The sorrow that has no speech.

The same Power formed the sparrow
That fashioned man - the King;
The God of the whole gave a living soul
To furred and to feathered thing.

And I am my brother's keeper,
And I will fight his fight;
And speak the word for beast and bird
Till the world shall set things right.

Voice Of The Voiceless, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Our goal: to convince people to rescue
and adopt instead of buying or selling
animals, to disavow the language
and concept of animal ownership.
Eliot Katz


God loved the birds and
invented trees. Man loved the
birds and invented cages.
Jacques Deval


The fidelity of a dog is a precious gift
demanding no less binding moral
responsibilities than the friendship
of a human being.
Konrad Lorenz


The question is not, "Can they
reason?" nor, "Can they talk?"
but rather, "Can they suffer?"
Jeremy Bentham


All beings tremble before violence.
All fear death, all love life. See
yourself in others. Then whom can
you hurt? What harm can you do?
Buddha


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


Nothing will benefit human health and
increase the chances for survival of life
on earth as much as the evolution
to a vegetarian diet
Albert Einstein


Hunting is not a sport. In a
sport, both sides should know
they're in the game.
Paul Rodriguez


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


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


When a man wantonly destroys one of
the works of man we call him a vandal.
When he destroys one of the works
of god we call him a sportsman.
Joseph Wood Krutch


Humanity is the cancer of nature.
Dave Foreman


The fascination of shooting as a sport
depends almost wholly on whether you
are at the right or wrong end of a gun.
P.G. Wodehouse

Wild animals never kill for sport.
Man is the only one to whom the
torture and death of his fellow-
creatures is amusing in itself.
James Anthony Froude

Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog
or man. There is no difference there
between a cat or a man. The idea
of difference is a human conception
for man's own advantage.
Sri Aurobindo


It is just like man's vanity and
impertinence to call an animal
dumb because it is dumb
to his dull perceptions.
Mark Twain


The basis of all animal rights should be the
Golden Rule: we should treat them as we
would wish them to treat us, were any
other species in our dominant position.
Christine Stevens


Our task must be to free ourselves...
by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and
the whole of nature and it's beauty.
Albert Einstein


When a man wants to murder a tiger
he calls it sport; when the tiger wants
to murder him he calls it ferocity.
George Bernard Shaw


Now I can look at you in peace;
I don't eat you any more.
Franz Kafka


Teaching a child not to step on a
caterpillar is as valuable to the child
as it is to the caterpillar.
Bradley Millar


The wild, cruel animal is not
behind the bars of a cage.
He is in front of it.
Axel Munthe


Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or
perhaps caricatures - of how animals
once were in their natural habitat. If the
right policies toward nature were pursued,
we would need no zoos at all.
Michael Fox


The fate of animals is of greater
importance to me than the fear of
appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly
connected with the fate of men.
Emile Zola


Non-violence leads to the highest ethics,
which is the goal of all evolution. Until we
stop harming all other living beings,
we are still savages.
Thomas A. Edison


A man can live and be healthy without
killing animals for food; therefore, if he
eats meat, he participates in taking
animal life merely for the sake of his
appetite. And to act so is immoral.
Leo Tolstoy


When it comes to having a central
nervous system, and the ability to
feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is
a pig is a dog is a boy.
Ingrid Newkirk


Truly man is the king of beast
for his brutality excedes theirs.
We live by the death of others.
We are burial places.
Leonardo Da Vinci


Deer hunting would be fine sport,
if only the deer had guns.
William S. Gilbert


To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less
precious than that of a human being. The
more helpless the creature, the more
that it is entitled to protection by
man from the cruelty of man.
Mahatma Gandhi


Because the heart beats under a covering
of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for
that reason, to be of no account?
Jean Paul Richter


The soul is the same in all
living
creatures, although the body
of each is different.
Hippocrates


God made all the creatures and
gave them our love and our fear,
To give sign, we and they are
His children, one family here.
Robert Browning


If you pick up a starving dog and
make him prosperous, he will not
bite you; that is the principal difference
between a dog and a man.
Mark Twain


Deliberate cruelty to our defenseless
and beautiful little cousins is surely one
of the meanest and most detestable vices
of which a human being can be guilty.
William Ralph Inge


All beings tremble before
violence. All fear death.
All love life.
Buddha


There will be no justice as long as
man will stand with a knife or with
a gun and destroy those who
are weaker than he is.
Isaac Bashevis Singer


The lives of animals are woven into our
very being -closer than our own
breathing-and our souls will suffer
when they are gone.
Gary Kowalski


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.
St Francis of Assisi
