| "To argue that we humans are capable of complex thought and feeling, whereas the sheep's perception is probably limited by lowly sheepish perceptions is no more to the point than if i were to slaughter and eat you on the grounds that i am a sophistcated personality able to enjoy mozart, formal logic and cannibalism, whereas your imaginative world seems confined to true romances and tinned spaghetti." |

| "Those who claim to care about the well- being of human beings and the preservation of our environment should become vegetarians for that reason alone. They would thereby increase the amount of grain available to feed people everywhere, reduce pollution, save water and energy, and cease contributing to the clearing; moreover, since a vegetarian diet is cheaper than one based on meat dishes, they would have more money available to devote to famine relief, pollution control, or whatever social or pollitical cause they thought most urgent." |
