“I want to be an entrepreneur too; I like the business side of things. When I was younger I wanted to be a vet or a tightrope walker. But I have no sense of balance and I can't bear animals dying, so I abandoned both ideas.” WantI CanIdeasWantedSidesAnimalDyingBearsBalanceEntrepreneurAbandonedWalkersVets Author:Georgia May Jagger
“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are laid waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.” MenHas BeensEarthOrderGivenGrowsAnimalCreativityForeverTreeDyingBecomingWasteBirdRiversClimateDisappearBillionsForestsDestroyedLandscapeDryFewerCrashMarvelousShallowRuinedWildlifeDry Up Author:Anton Chekhov
“So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth.” PeopleMenYearsHumansLooksEarthUsedHuman BeingsAnimalMillionsDyingPrayingDiseaseLaughterHungerCuresCardsTortureVegetarianVeganElsewhereAbsurdityPeace On EarthMalnutritionAnimal WorldFactory FarmingInspirational Animal Author:David C.

“When you see someone dying in front of you from a direct and simple cause, it's easier to deal with [that] than famine or drought or a more indirect cause. It's overwhelming and frightening and kind of distant, but we do see it every day with plants and animals and species dying.” KindCausesSimpleAnimalDealsDyingFrontsEasierDirectPlantSpeciesOverwhelmingFrighteningFamineDroughtIndirectPlants And AnimalsSomeone Dying Author:John H Richardson
“The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all species are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.” IfsWorldShouldYearsRunningPurposeSufferingUniverseEvilNaturalAnimalAliveMinutesDyingDesignEvolutionAmountDiseasePropertySpeciesBottomSentencesIndifferenceContemplationDecentTake MeThirstNatural WorldStarvationParasitesGod Delusion Author:Richard Dawkins
