“Mas há aqueles que matam: matam por desporto, por divertimento, matam para obter lucro – por exemplo, a indústria da carne. São os mesmos que destroem a Terra, espalham gases venenosos, poluem o ar, as águas, e poluem-se uns aos outros. É o que estamos a fazer à Terra e a nós próprios. Viver sem causar sofrimento ou morte a outros significa não matar um ser humano nem qualquer animal, por desporto ou para sustento.”
And there are those who kill, kill for sport, kill for amusement, kill for profit - the whole meat industry. Right? Destroy the earth, to dump poisonous gas, you know all that is happening in this country, pollute the air, the waters, and pollute each other. This is what we are doing to the earth and to ourselves.
And the questioner asks: can we live on this earth with its great beauty and not bring suffering to others or death. It is a very, very serious question. To live a life without causing suffering to others, or causing death to others, that means not killing a human being, not killing any animal for sport, for your food.

“Algumas pessoas matam. As outras pessoas se satisfazem lendo a notícia dos assassinatos.”
The cruelty is indefensible and an affront to human dignity, but in a desperate attempt to justify their evil practices many vivisectors still claim that what they do helps save human lives. They are lying. The truth is that animal experiments kill people and animal researchers are responsible for the deaths of thousands of men, women and children every year; they are also directly responsible for a massive amount of human suffering.
