“Se você está lidando com um animal ou uma criança, convencer é enfraquecer.”
Qu'il s'agisse d'une bête ou d'un enfant, convaincre c'est affaiblir

“O homem, quando é animal, é pior do que o animal.”
Cruelty has cursed the human family for countless ages. It is almost impossible for one to be cruel to animals and kind to humans. If children are permitted to be cruel to their pets and other animals, they easily learn to get the same pleasure from the misery of fellow-humans. Such tendencies can easily lead to crime. http://www.animalliberationfront.com/Saints/Authors/Quotes/ARQuotes.xls

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.
