Francis of Assisi, Saint - Not to hurt our humble brethren (the
animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We
have a higher mission to be of service to them whenever they require it...
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.
Freeman, Edward Augustus (1823-1892) - The awful wrongs and sufferings
forced upon the innocent, helpless, faithful animal race form the blackest
chapter in the whole world's history.
Fuller, Thomas (1608-1661) - He that will not be merciful to his beast
is a beast himself.
