Humane Society Quotes

“I dream of the humane dawn when we shan't be able to fill our bellies in comfort, while other folks go hungry - or sleep in warm beds, when others shiver in the cold - when we shan't be able to kneel or thank god for blessings before our shining altars, while our fellow beings anywhere in the world are kneeling either physical or spiritual subjection.”

“Live your life as such a journey that it becomes a journey of an entire new way of life - a life civilized, a life humane, a life truly alive, not just biologically, but psychologically - alive in kindness, alive in love, alive in inclusion, harmony and assimilation – or simply, alive in and as oneness.”

“Για όλους όσους έχουν βιώσει - με όποιον τρόπο - τον εκφοβισμό στη ζωή τους, ακόμα και από τους πιο κοντινούς συγγενείς τους (ενδοοικογενειακός εκφοβισμός) ή το ευρύτερο περιβάλλον τους - σχολικό, επαγγελματικό, κοινωνικό, και όποιου είδους ήταν αυτός, ψυχολογικός, λεκτικός, σωματικός... - κι έχουν χάσει πλέον κάθε ελπίδα... Θάρρος! Πάντα υπάρχει ελπίδα, μια αχτίδα φωτός να σκορπίσει τα σκοτάδια!”

“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.”

“They offer, if we are wise enough or simple enough to take it, a model for what it means to give your heart with little thought of return. Both powerfully imaginary and comfortingly real, dogs act as mirrors for our own beliefs about what would constitute a truly humane society. Perhaps it is not too late for them to teach us some new tricks.”

“The money our society spends goes to appease those with power. As such, it goes mainly to those who don't need it. A nation that redistributes income to its poor buys a civilized and humane society, and it buys this with a miniscule share of the national income and a modest reduction in the supply of cleaning women. A country that subsidizes workers in the prime working years sacrifices, not a dust-free living room, but the very muscle of the national economy.”

“At The Humane Society of the United States, we know how difficult it is to prevent cruelty to animals in movies because so many of the animal welfare problems occur behind the scenes in training, housing, and transportation, long before the animals get on the set.”

“Until the chance for political participation is there, we who are poor will continue to attack the soft part of the American system - its economic structure. We will build power through boycotts, strikes, new union - whatever techniques we can develop. These attacks on the status quo will come, not because we hate, but because we know America can construct a humane society for all its citizens - and that if it does not, there will chaos.”

“We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding One generation and out. We have no problems with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding.”

“The Humane Society of the United States works with local Humane Societies across the country. We don't control every local Humane Society in this nation. These organizations strive to the greatest degree to provide homes for animals and to encourage adoption, to spay and neuter animals. And if a decision is made to euthanize, it is a failure of society, not the local organizations who are striving to do their best.”

“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.”

“The work of volunteer groups throughout our country represents the very heart and soul of America. They have helped make this the most compassionate, generous, and humane society that ever existed on the face of this earth.”
