Thanks to a friend of the site, here are a few choice words from Mahatma Gandhi about animals, and their place in our lives. I posted this over at FB, but just realized I hadn't posted it here.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated."
"I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."
"I feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants."
"I do not regard flesh-food as necessary for us at any stage and under any clime in which it is possible for human beings ordinarily to live. I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species."
For more from the Mahatma, here's a link to What Are The Seven Deadly Social Sins According to Mahatma Gandhi?
