Great write-up @kennyskitchen, thanks for the mention. I would also highly recommend people check out 'the extended circle: a commonplace book of animal rights'. The entire book is a collection of quotes (from many great philosophers and thought revolutionaries) on humanity's use of animals for food, clothing, 'science', and entertainment. It is brilliant.

Awesome, thanks brother! I'll add it to the list now :-)
Hey @mckeever - I think I will follow the recommendation and buy this. Do you know anything of the similar titled book "the extended circle: an anthology of humane thought"?
@cryptocurator I'm not sure, both are anthologys. Perhaps that one is an updated version?
I've bought it, arrived today, and seems very good as you described, a serious volume of pages of humane thoughts! Thanks
Great to hear.
I will have to check this book out! I have tried to look up quotes on the internet but I come across mostly repeats.
That's exactly why I bought it! I love reading quotes, but I had only ever come across the usual, familiar ones on vegetarianism/veganism on the internet. This book is like 400+ pages of quotes - it's great.
That is SO awesome!! I'm excited to get it now!
You'll love it!
Here's a sample: "Thus men continue to accuse themselves of being unjust, violent, cruel, and treacherous to one another, but they do not accuse themselves of cutting the throats of other animals and of feeding upon their mangled limbs, which, nevertheless, is the single cause of that injustice." - Jean-Antoine Gleizes
Yes!!
