Prophet Muhammad -
“An adultress passed by a dog at a well; and the dog was holding out his tongue from thirst, which was near killing him, and the woman drew off her boot, and tied it to the end of her garment, and drew water for the dog, and gave him to drink; and she was forgiven for that act.”2.

Walt Whitman -
“I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them long and long.”8.
Francois Voltaire -
“Animals have these advantages over man: They never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.”9.

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle — When the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”12.

“People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it’s safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.”13.
Mark Twain -
“It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.”14.
Count Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy -
“If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.”15.
John Ernst Steinbeck -
“We have never understood why men mount the heads of animals and hang them up to look down on their conquerers. Possibly it feels good to these men to feel superior to animals, but does it not seem that if they were sure of it they would not have to prove it? Often a man who is afraid must constantly demonstrate his courage and, in the case of the hunter, must keep a tangible record of his courage.”16.
Herbert Spencer -
“The behaviour of men to the lower animals, and their behaviour to each other, bear a constant relationship.”17.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry -
“If someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists.”18.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca -
“What with our hooks, snares, nets, and dogs, we are at war with all living creatures, and nothing comes amiss but that which is either too cheap or too common; and all this is to gratify a fantastical palate.”19.
F. G. 'Buck' Rodgers -
“People buy products for what they can do, not for what they are.”20.
Hugh W. Pinnock -
“Never feed the foxes! What does that mean? Breaking commandments is like feeding foxes. In England where we live, my wife and I had heard that foxes were right in town. We wanted to see a fox. A neighbor told us that if we left food for the foxes we probably would see one. Our butcher gave us some bones. Each night we would place some bones out in the backyard. Soon a fox came to eat. Then a few more. Now we have at least five foxes racing through our flower garden, digging up the lawn, and leaving a shamble every night, sort of like a furry Jurassic Park. What started out as a curiosity is now a problem, and sin is much the same. An indiscretion can begin a process that can make a mess of a whole life. Remember, if you don't start feeding the foxes, they will never tear up your yard. If you avoid making the seemingly small and harmless mistakes, your life will be free of many larger problems later on.”21.
George Orwell -
“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”22.
Thomas Moore -
“From thence the beasts be brought in, killed and clean washed by the hands of their bondsmen. For they permit not their free citizens to accustom themselves to the killing of beasts, through the use whereof they think clemency, the gentlest affection of our nature, by little and little to decay and perish.”23.
Alfred Armand Montapert -
“Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.”24.
Henry Mitchell -
“Toads are conservative animals, I think, and not much given to expecting the best from fortune. Some weeks ago, well before the end of October, I accidentally dug up one while turning over some garden earth. I was surprised, naturally, when one of the clods heaved over on its die and there, in some annoyance, sat at toad.”25.
Alan Alexander Milne -
“Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.”
