Quotes

• The Golden Rule must be applied in our relations with the animal world, just as it must be applied in our relations with our fellow men, and no one can be a Christian man or woman until this finds embodiment in his or her life.
  • Every Living Creature

• The whole field of experiments is not only saturated with suffering, but it is dogged with failure of results and vain and ceaseless repetition of experiments over and over again.
• There is no question that vivisection is, in many cases, inseparable from suffering and that suffering is inevitable to the pursuit of the practice; further, that the suffering which is caused is altogether a minor matter to some of the men who cause it. This the public has yet to realize. It has to understand that in assenting to and encouraging experiments on living animals it is giving its consent to possibilities of illimitable suffering.
