“FREE animals of the jungle/air/sea/mountains are called 'wild', 'savage', 'vicious', 'beasts' who defend themselves and their own territories from greedy, ruthless 'brave' men armed to the teeth/ with snares, tranquilizing guns, other.

“Laughter to begin with was probably glee at the misfortunes of others. The baring of the teeth in laughter hints at its savage ancestry. Animals have no malice, hence also no laughter. They never savor the sudden glory of Schadenfreude. It was its infectious quality that made of laughter a medium of mutuality.” MadeAnimalQualityGloryLaughterTeethMediumsMisfortunesSavagesMaliceHintsAncestryGleeMisfortunes Of OthersSchadenfreude Author:Eric Hoffer
“How many hearts with warm, red blood in them are beating under cover of the woods, and how many teeth and eyes are shining? A multitude of animal people, intimately related to us, but of whose lives we know almost nothing, are as busy about their own affairs as we are about ours.” PeopleKnowsHeartEyeAnimalBloodAdventureRedShiningBusyAffairWoodsWarmTeethRelatedMultitudes Book:John Muir, in His Own Words: A Book of Quotations Source: John Muir, in His Own Words: A Book of Quotations
“The animals share with us the privilege of having a soul Alas, what wickedness to swallow flesh into our own flesh, to fatten our greedy bodies by cramming in other bodies, to have one living creature fed by the death of another! In the midst of such wealth as earth, the best of mothers, provides, yet nothing satisfies you, but to behave like the Cyclopes, inflicting sorry wounds with cruel teeth! You cannot appease the hungry cravings of your wicked, gluttonous stomachs except by destroying some other life.” SoulBodyEarthMotherWealthAnimalShareCreaturesPhilosophicalSorryPrivilegeFleshWoundsHungryTeethBehaveWickedMidstFedsDestroyingGreedyAlasWickednessCravingLiving CreaturesAppeaseAnimal LifeAnimal CompassionCramming Author:Pythagoras

“Why can't I believe? she asked the darkness. Behind her eyelids she saw an animal. It was golden colour, with gentle green eyes and canine teeth, and curly wool instead of fur. It opened its mouth, but it did not speak. Instead, it yawned.It gazed at her. She gazed at it.

“Man is at his furthest remove from the animal as a child, his intellect most human. With his fifteenth year and puberty he comes astep closer to the animal; with the sense of possessions of his thirties (the median line between laziness and greediness), still another step. In his sixtieth year of life he frequently loses his modesty as well, then the septuagenarian steps up to us as a completely unmasked beast: one need only look at the eyes and the teeth.” MenNeedsYearsHumansWellsLooksChildrenStillsEyeLosesLinesAnimalStepsAgingPossessionIntellectTeethBeastRemoveLazinessModestyStep UpPubertyYears Of LifeGreedinessMedian Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Certain anthropologists hold that man, having discovered tools, ceased to evolve biologically. Animals, never having discovered them, continue to fashion drills out of their beaks, oars out of their hind feet, wings out of their forefeet, suits of armor out of their hides, levers out of their horns, saws out of their teeth. Whether this be true or not, all authorities agree that man is the tool-using animal. It sets him off from the rest of the animal kingdom as drastically as does speech.” MenDoeCertainAnimalSawsFeetFashionSpeechAuthorityToolsAgreeWingsKingdomsTeethBeing TrueSuitsEvolveHumankindHornsArmorDrillsLeversAnthropologistsOarAnimal KingdomBeaksSuits Of Armor Author:Stuart Chase
“There is no doubt, that man is not built to be a carnivorous animal. What a sweet, pleasing and innocent sight is the spectacle of a table served that way and what a difference to a make up of fuming animal meat, slaughtered and dead! Man in no way has the constitution of a carnivorous being. Hunt and voracity are unnatural to him. Man has neither the sharp pointed teeth or claws to slaughter his prey. On the contrary his hands are made to pick fruits, berries and vegetables and teeth appropriate to chew them.” MenWayMadeHandsDifferencesAnimalDoubtSweetPicksBuiltSightConstitutionTablesFruitContraryTeethInnocentMeatNo DoubtAppropriateVegetablesHuntsPreyUnnaturalSlaughterClawsDead ManBerries Author:John Ray
“If the basic human nature was aggressive, we would have been born with animal claws & huge teeth -- but ours are very short, very pretty, very weak! That means we are not well equipped to be aggressive beings. Even the size of our mouth is very small.
