Chrissy Hynde - Singer/songwriter of the pretenders



“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. We feel better about ourselves and better about the animals knowing we are not contributing to their pain.”
Linda McCartney

Dr. Jane Goodall, PHD
conservationist and primatologist


 
“Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”
