Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don\u2019t harass them, don\u2019t deprive them of their happiness, don\u2019t work against God\u2019s intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you \u2013 alas, it is true of almost every one of us!<\/p>\n
Fyodor Dostoevsky<\/i><\/p>\n
I am to ask your Lordships, in the name of that God who gave to man his dominion over the lower world, to acknowledge and recognize that dominion to be a moral trust.<\/p>\n
Thomas Erskine<\/i><\/p>\n
If you have men who will exclude any of God\u2019s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men.<\/p>\n
Francis of Assisi<\/i><\/p>\n
Kindness to all God\u2019s creatures is an absolute rock-bottom necessity if peace and righteousness are to prevail.<\/p>\n
Sir Wilfred Grenfell<\/i><\/p>\n
Nobody is truly Christian unless his cat or dog is the better off for it.<\/p>\n
Rowland Hill<\/i><\/p>\n
Cruelty to animals is the degrading attitude of paganism.<\/p>\n
Cardinal Hinsley<\/i><\/p>\n
We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feather so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.<\/p>\n
W.R. Inge<\/i><\/p>\n
Be careful that the love of gain draw us not into any business which may weaken our love of our Heavenly Father, or bring unnecessary trouble to any of His creatures.<\/p>\n
