| Quotes "It is quite clear that a living cow yields society more food than a dead one - in the form of a continuing supply of milk, cheese, butter, yogurt and other high-protein foods." Srila Prabhupada "Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." Albert Einstein In the words of George Bernard Shaw: We are living graves of murdered beasts Slaughtered to satisfy our appetites. We never pause to wonder at our feasts, If animals like men could possibly have rights. We pray on Sunday that we may have light, To guide our footsteps on the paths we tread. We are sick of war, we do not want to fight, And we gorge ourselves upon the dead. Like Carrion Crows we live and feed on meat, Regardless of the suffering and pain We cause by doing so, in this we treat, Defenseless animals for sport or gain - How can we hope in this world to attain The peace we say we are so anxious for, We pray for it o'er hetacomba of slain, To God while outraging the moral law, Thus cruelty begets the offspring --- WAR ! Lord Dharma in The Mahabharata -"Who in this world is happy?..." Yudhisthira answers "He who is neither in debt nor exiled and who lives simply, eating simple food in his own home, is happy..." |

"O Lord! This material body is a lump of ignorance, and the senses are a network of paths leading to death. Somehow or other we have fallen into the ocean of material sense enjoyment, and of all the senses the tongue is the most voracious and uncontrollable. It is very difficult to conquer the tongue; therefore let us take this prasadam [spiritual food] to our full satisfaction and glorify Your Lordships Sri Sri Radha and Krishna and in love for the help of Lord Caitanya and Prabhu Nityananda." Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura |
| "For those who have decided to continue their existence in this material world for the gratification of their senses, there is no chance of becoming Krishna conscious, not by personal endeavor, by instruction from others or by joint conferences. They are dragged by the unbridled senses into the darkest region of ignorance, and thus they madly engage in what is called 'chewing the chewed'" Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.30 |
| "The animal killers do not know that in the future the animal will have a body suitable to kill them. That is the law of nature...Every living creature is the son of the Supreme Lord, and He does not tolerate even an ant's being killed. One has to pay for it. So, indulgence in animal killing for the taste of the tongue is the grossest kind of ignorance. A human being has no need to kill animals because god has supplied so many nice things. If one indulges in meat eating anyway, it is to be understood that he is acting in ignorance and is making his future very dark. Of all kinds of animal killing, the killing of cows is most vicious because the cow gives us all kinds of pleasure by supplying milk...Cow slaughter is an act of the grossest type of ignorance..." Purport of Bhagavad-Gita 14.16 by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada |
