I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does whether right or wrong.

I think that animals aren't less intelligent than humans they're just of a different intelligence. We have five million smell-sensitive cells in our nose they have two hundred and fifty million - they can smell emotion. They can smell different types of emotion they just have another type of intelligence.

From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found.

Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals.

I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature both animals and plants the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself you don't have to think about it.

Man is the most intelligent of the animals - and the most silly.

I'm a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice. But at the same time I appreciate and respect other people's decisions to eat meat. The only thing that I hope is that people are educated that they're aware that they're living a conscious lifestyle.

I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are how dependent on us trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs.

After spending time with the rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary's shelter and seeing how similar they are to my furry companion animals at home I knew I needed to do everything in my power to protect these friendly and curious birds from the daily pain and suffering they endure on factory farms.

Nevertheless most of the evergreen forests of the north must always remain the home of wild animals and trappers a backward region in which it is easy for a great fur company to maintain a practical monopoly.

Spare a thought for the poor introverts among us. In a world of party animals and glad-handers they're the ones who stand by the punch bowl. In a world of mixers and pub crawls they prefer to stay home with a book. Everywhere around them cell phones ring and e-mails chime and they just want a little quiet.

Yes I've kissed a lot of guys. I like to kiss but that's it. I don't go home with anyone. I sleep with my animals like my baby monkey Brigitte Bardot.

We have two dogs Mabel and Wolf and three cats at home Charlie George and Chairman. We have two cats on our farm Tom and Little Sister two horses and two mini horses Hannah and Tricky. We also have two cows Holy and Madonna. And those are only the animals we let sleep in our bed.

I'm lucky because I have a job I love. I really miss being away from home being in my own bed seeing my animals and siblings having my moms cookies. I have a couple cats. I got a kitten about a year ago and now Im going on the road so I wont see him for a while. I feel bad.

For at the same time many people seem eager to extend the circle of our moral consideration to animals in our factory farms and laboratories we are inflicting more suffering on more animals than at any time in history.

I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.

History is a people's memory and without a memory man is demoted to the lower animals.

Great Britain had a much different situation than we do and did here in the United States in that they had literally thousands of infected animals with human health risks. Their infectivity in this disease happened before very much was known about it.

I'm always active in trying to educate people when it comes to eating animal products testing on animals and the health benefits of being vegan although I'm probably not the best person to be talking about the latter at the moment.

As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals they will kill each other.

It is in his knowledge that man has found his greatness and his happiness the high superiority which he holds over the other animals who inhabit the earth with him and consequently no ignorance is probably without loss to him no error without evil.

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.

The theoretical understanding of the world which is the aim of philosophy is not a matter of great practical importance to animals or to savages or even to most civilised men.

Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.

If God did not intend for us to eat animals then why did he make them out of meat?

Man is an exception whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

God sleeps in the minerals awakens in plants walks in animals and thinks in man.

Animals are sentient intelligent perceptive funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.

I love things made out of animals. It's just so funny to think of someone saying 'I need a letter opener. I guess I'll have to kill a deer.

They took their meals together and it was remarked on such occasions when the friendship of animals is put to a hard test that they never quarrelled or disputed the possession of a favourite fruit with each other.
