My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.
I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.
Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds them. We live by the death of others. We are burial places.
King of the animals — as thou hast described him — I should rather say king of the beasts, thou being the greatest — because thou hast spared slaying them, in order that they may give thee their children for the benefit of the gullet, of which thou hast attempted to make a sepulchre for all animals; and I would say still more, if it were allowed me to speak the entire truth.
One day the world will look upon research upon animals as it now looks upon research on human beings.
