“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!

You cannot appease the hungry cravings of your wicked, gluttonous stomachs except by destroying some other life.” SoulBodyEarthMotherWealthAnimalShareCreaturesPhilosophicalSorryPrivilegeFleshWoundsHungryTeethBehaveWickedMidstFedsDestroyingGreedyAlasWickednessCravingLiving CreaturesAppeaseAnimal LifeAnimal CompassionCramming Author:Pythagoras
