There is no more rewarding choice than to be part of that community of people making a difference. I like to think we are all little trickles of water, but when we act together we flow into a powerful river. - Janice Stanger, PhD

I am passionate about my food, and I put all my heart into everything I make which is why I call them Vegan Heart Cakes. Everything is prepared fresh and with love. There are no nasty additives, they are mainly organic, gluten free, sugar and soya free, powered by superfoods. - Jo Tyszczuk, Vegan Heart Cakes, Bournemouth, UK
Veg Wisdom
The man who asked me if I was vegan and told me about
the dairy and egg industry was Vegan Bob, a radio show host and
animal advocate. He came to visit The Gentle Barn after I had just opened
it and he asked if I was vegan. He told me how the dairy industry impregnates cows, kills the babies, and steals the milk for humans to drink. And that was the
day I went vegan. - Ellie Laks, Founder, Author, Ted-X Speaker

As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness. - Richard Gere

Erin Williams, Washington, DC, presents to EVEN, "Saving Animals and the Planet with Your Fork"
Erin's concern for animals was sparked as a result of spending much of her childhood on her family's dairy farm in rural Illinois. As co-author of Why Animals Matter: The Case for Animal Protection, she offers an overview of industries that exploit animals---factory farms, experimentation, entertainment, the pet industry, fur, and sport hunting---and addresses the environmental and social justice effects of animal exploitation.

I have a rule of life that I will not ask anyone to do my dirty
work for me. I would never kill a creature or a chicken or
even a fish, so I no longer eat flesh. - Peace Pilgrim (1908-1981)
Veg Wisdom
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages. - Thomas Edison

There is no humane way to kill an animal who didn't want to die.

Veg Wisdom
I love chicks... pigs, cows, fish, and all the other animals too. That's why I turned vegetarian. I am very happy being a vegetarian and I believe that it is the best way to be. The day I started believing in the fact that I would want not to kill animals for my taste buds that is the day everything changed for me. - Shahid Kapoor, Actor and PETA India's Sexiest Vegetarian 2009
Veg Wisdom
Mankind cannot, I submit, save itself from destruction through mere cleverness of scientific technology selfishly applied, nor through wishful thinking. But through a deep sense of brotherhood of all life, and a willingness and eagerness on the part of each and every person to work constructively for the preservation and enhancement of life, mankind may yet be preserved and go forward into the next millennium with confidence, competence and compassion. - H.Jay Dinshah (1933-2000), President of the American Vegan Society at The Vegetarian Way, XXIV World Vegetarian Congress, 1977
AHIMSA
Veg Wisdom
Cruelty to ... animals is one of the distinguishing vices of low and base minds. Wherever it is found, it is a certain mark of ignorance and meanness; a mark which all the external advantages of wealth, splendour, and nobility cannot obliterate. It is consistent neither with learning nor true civility. - Sir William Jones (1746 - 1794), English Poet and Philologist
