There was a time when people ate each other's time, when they ceased to do so, but still continue to eat animals. Now's the time when people are more and more abandoned and this terrible habit. *

How strange that different societies to protect children and cruelty to animals are completely indifferent to vegetarianism, while the consumption of meat and it is, in most cases, the cause of the cruelty with which they want to fight by the punishment. Execution of the law of love can keep cruelty stronger than the fear of criminal prosecution. There is hardly any difference between the brutality that takes place under torture and murder in order to satisfy their sense of anger and violence, which is done with torturing and killing in order to use the meat of animals that people kindle a hotbed of violence.

In the delusion that our actions regarding animals have no moral values, or, in the language of conventional morality, to the animals that there are no obligations in this error appears outrageous brutality and barbarism.
Schopenhauer

A traveler came to the African cannibals at the time, as they ate some meat. He asked them what they eat? They said that the meat was human.
"Do you have it?" - Cried the traveler.
"Why, the salt is very tasty," - he answered Africans. They are so used to what they were doing, they could not even understand to what the exclamation traveler.
Just do not understand the indignation of the meat-eaters, vegetarians who have, at the sight of pigs, lambs, oxen, eaten because the meat is "tasty with salt."

The killing and eating of animals is important, because people believe that animals are designed to benefit the people of God and that there is nothing wrong with killing animals. But this is not true. No matter what the books has been written that is not a sin to kill animals in the hearts of all of us is written more clearly than in the books, the animal should be sorry, just like people, and we all know it, if not to drown a conscience.
Do not be confused by the fact that when your refusal from eating meat all your family pets will attack you will condemn you, laugh at you. If eating meat was an indifferent thing, meat eaters would not attack a vegetarian diet, they get annoyed because today is aware of his sin, but she can not even get rid of him.

Vegetarianism, proclaimed even in the most ancient times, lay hidden for a long time, but today it is every year and time of taking up more and more people, and soon the time will come when the time runs out hunting, vivisection and, most importantly, the killing to meet taste.
8
The time will come when people will feel the same aversion to meat animals, how they feel now to the human.
Lamartine

As it is now considered a vile and shameful pop kids, arrange a fight of gladiators, torturing prisoners and commit other atrocities, no one seemed particularly reprehensible no, no nasty sense of justice, it is time when it is deemed immoral and impermissible to kill animals and eat their corpses .
Dr. Zimmerman

If you see children, suffer for their fun kitten or bird, you stop them and teach them compassion for all living beings, and themselves go on hunting, shooting pigeons, jump and sit down for a meal, for which the death of several creatures.
Is this glaring contradiction is not made explicit, and does not stop people?

Vegetarianism is quickly making remarkable progress. Now there is hardly any significant ground on the city in which there would be no one to a dozen or more vegetarian restaurants. Movement to protect clean food would be even more pronounced if the vegetarian newspapers and magazines have paid more attention to the moral value of a vegetarian diet, rather than put on the form, usually, its hygienic benefits. Purely hygienic considerations can not make people true vegetarians, it can not do vegetarians need not allows them to buy meat. Invincible argument in favor of vegetarianism can only reason that we should not run for murder and torment the animals in order to eat their bodies.

"We can not claim rights to the animals that exist on the ground, who eat the same food, breathe the same air, drink the same water as we do, with their killing they confuse us with terrifying screams and cause to be ashamed of our action." Plutarch thought so, except for some reason, aquatic animals. We respect zemnorodnyh animals were far behind him.
13
At a time when clear crime of killing animals for fun (hunting) or taste, hunting and eating meat is not the point of indifference, but just bad things that result in, as any wrong knowingly commits an act, a lot of even worse behavior.
14
Compassion for animals so natural to us that we can only suggestion brought to the ruthlessness of the suffering and death of animals.
15
Compassion for animals is so closely linked with the kindness of character that it's safe to say that there can be a kind person who is cruel to animals. Compassion for animals comes from a single source with a virtuous attitude to man. For example, a sensitive man, with a reminder that he, being in a bad mood, angry, or get warm with wine, beat his dog, horse, monkey - unfairly or vain, or too painful - feel the same dissatisfaction, as when reminded of the wrongs done to man, which in this case we call the punishing voice of conscience.
Schopenhauer
16
Fear God, do not torture animals. Use them as they serve willingly, and release them when they are tired, and give plenty of food and drink dumb.
Mohammed
17
Meat food can not be extracted without harming the animal, and the killing of animals difficult path to bliss. So suppose a person abstains from meat eating.
Brahmins of Manu

Not because the people above other creatures that callously torturing them, but because he is compassionate towards all living things.
Buddhist wisdom
19
Those pleasures that give a person a sense of pity and compassion for animals, it would be worth a hundred times those of pleasure, which he refused to lose hunting and eating meat.
20
All the arguments against meat eating, however strong they may be, are insignificant to the main argument that the animals we chuem same life force that lives in us. Chuem that violating this life, we do something like suicide. Anyone who does not drown out a characteristic of all people is a feeling that will not need any other arguments.
21
We showed the inhuman cruelty of the lower animals, raising them, and killing for food, and time has shown that we do not win this, on the contrary, we lose ourselves health, good taste and lose economically.

Meat-eating is not only contrary to our physical nature, but also in other ways. The mind and the ability to think tupeyut from satiety and obesity, meat food and wine, perhaps, give the density of the body, but it just weakens the mind.
Plutarch
23
It is extremely important not to distort the natural taste and making children carnivorous, if not for the sake of their health, for the sake of their character, <because, whatever it was due, and certain that more hunters to the meat in general people are hardhearted.
Rousseau
24
We may be accused of exaggeration if we say that the meat diet leads to premature death, however, there is no doubt that it is the cause of premature aging, disease and illness due to the challenges it habits, alcoholism, excesses in the sexual instinct and intemperance in many other respects.
Dr. A.Kingsford
25
One who takes vegetarianism for the betterment of their health, can easily go back to eating meat because of the same reasons of health. But humane vegan vegetarian always remain, and he will not return to eating meat, never to his taste and to your health does not require killing and suffering of animals with all other related atrocities.
Lucy Malory
27
The one who does harm to animals from a desire to please herself, adds nothing to the happiness in this life and in the future, in which case as one that does not harm animals: no locks, do not kill them, but a well-wisher of all sentient beings, the experiences happiness without end.
Of Indian law of Manu
28
We must not close our eyes to the fact that eating meat, I want killing living creatures to meet luxury and taste.
29
What matters is not practical arguments against meat eating - they all may be true, but there may be cases where it will not put us, one and all always and necessarily true: the man alive in compassion for all living things (included in this is what you want), so it is kinder, better, more people. Killing animals is out of curiosity, pleasure hunting, or have a pleasant taste - not compassionate, but rude and impudent, cruel.

The simpler the food, the more enjoyable - not boring - the healthier and, always, always accessible.

"Since I began to confide to you the ardor with which I in my youth was taken to be the teaching of philosophy, I will not hide from you that worship which inspired me Socion (teacher Seneca), the teachings of Pythagoras. Sotsion expounded to me the grounds on which he had at first, and later Sektius, decided to abstain from meat animals. Each of them was a reason, but both were fine. Sotsion argued that man has the ability to find their food rather than spilling the blood of animals, and that violence is necessarily inherent in man, as soon as he turns to murder to satisfy lust, gluttony. He used to say that we strongly obliged to limit our need for luxury, which crowns, the variety of food is unhealthy and unnatural to our nature. If true, he said, the Pythagorean rule, then abstaining from eating meat to approach us to the immaculate, and if they are wrong, compliance with them, at least, have taught us to moderation and simplicity of life! Also, how much damage you can suffer from the loss of your cruelty? I just want to deprive you of the food, which is peculiar to the lions and vultures. Prompted by these and similar reasons, I began to abstain from eating meat, and after a year of such a sober habit was not only easy, but enjoyable. Then I firmly believe that my mental capacity was the work, and now I think it unnecessary to assure themselves the validity of this. You may ask, why do I return to your old habits? Therefore, I will answer that by the will of fate I had to live in his youth during the reign of Emperor Tiberius, where some alien religion were the subject of suspicion. Among the signs of belonging to the suspected superstition was abstaining from eating meat. Then, yielding to pleas of my father, I went back to his original way of feeding, after which, he will not be hard to convince me to participate without discrimination and in the most magnificent feasts.
I say it - continues to Seneca, - in order to prove to you how powerful the earliest impulses of youth! all good and true under the influence of pious exhortations mentors. If we are mistaken in his youth, it is partly the fault of our leaders of students have to argue, not to live, partly, by our own fault - what to expect from our teachers not only promote good inclinations of the soul as the development of abilities of the mind . From this and what happens is that instead of the love of wisdom in us affects only the love of words. "

If people eat only when they are very hungry, and had lived on a simple, clean and healthy food, they would not know the disease and it was easier to control his mind and body.
33
If we want to be healthy, we have to live as nature tells us - eating fruits, nuts, bread, vegetables, etc., and not the remains of animals.
34
In the old days there was no need of any such increase in the number of doctors, or in an amount of medical instruments and medicines. Preservation of health was just for a simple reason. Different foods have dissolved different diseases. Note the enormous number of lives one stomach absorbs - the destroyer of land and sea.
Seneca
35
Try to keep it simple, and simplify your needs and most urgent of them - food. The more simplified, the more you win and nothing to lose.
36
The hypocrisy of people who can not kill animals, but refuse to use them for food - great and unforgivable.
37
The hands do not you have killed the bull and killed a lamb, and you want this bloody work is entrusted to another. I could vouch for the fact that many will say, "I can not kill." So really do you think that you have the right, do you have a lack of conscience, spirit, hire another to do the work that you would prefer not to leave made rather than to do it. Believe me, you - your brother's keeper. Do not humiliate him to the point of your slave, chained to work, against whom resent your higher instincts.
Maior

So senseless bloodshed, as it sheds people - a king of the universe - does not shed any most ferocious beast. And to feel it, you need only once in my life to look at the well-appointed carnage on the executioners, called soldiers, and gluttons, known as gastronomy.

The real responsibility for the atrocities committed by butchers, is on those who use the services of these butchers, while maintaining that his peace of mind.

Kill creatures so contrary to human nature, that not many of the men and women could have the animals which they would be compelled to kill, and yet, varnish remains dead animal, they forget or pretend to forget his attachment to life dying and suffering.
Phillips

If you expect to live and think the creature was deprived of his life by others, and if you are disgusted by the tear the heart and shed the blood of your victims, why, I ask you, in defiance of nature and self-pity, you eat beings endowed adult life.
Plutarch
42
If one can not or does not want to live without eating animal flesh, then at least he should have been able to kill them myself, but people are so inhuman that make even the new, worse than most murder crime: make, corrupting them, other poor and black people to kill living things.
43
Compassion for living creatures is in us a feeling akin to physical pain. And just as it is possible to become coarsened bodily pain can become coarsened and compassion for the pain.
44
Compassion for all living creatures is the most correct and reliable absolute guarantee of moral behavior. Who are truly compassionate, he's probably not offend anyone, not hurt, not to hurt anyone, nor with anyone not will charge, each simple, so that all his actions will be of print justice and humanity. Suppose someone says, "This is - a virtuous man, but he knows no pity," or, "This is - an unjust and evil man, but he is very zhalostliv" - and you will feel a contradiction.
