Pope Francis

The abuse, torture, killing and extinction of animals by humans is damaging and depleting our planet and our souls.

"Not to hurt our humble brethren (the animals) is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission: to be of service to them whenever they require it."

- Saint Francis of Assissi

"Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”

― Albert Schweitzer
