When I was twelve, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature who was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning. (Quote by - Marv Levy)

If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. (Quote by - James Herriot)

The sense impressions of one-celled animals are not edited for the brain. This is philosophically interesting in a rather mournful way, since it means that only the simplest animals perceive the universe as it is. (Quote by - Annie Dillard)

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed. (Quote by - Charles Darwin)

You can tell all you need to about a society from how it treats animals and beaches. (Quote by - Frank Deford)

We both absolutely love animals.. and we always wanted to do something that involved animals. So one day last year, we started talking about it. It then went from talking about it to actually looking for a space and, once we found a space, it took about one month to get the doors open. (Quote by - Donna Martin)

Elderly gentlemen, gentle in all respects, kind to animals, beloved by children, and fond of music, are found in lonely corners of the downs, hacking at sandpits or tussocks of grass, and muttering in a blind, ungovernable fury elaborate maledictions which could not be extracted from them by robbery or murder. Men who would face torture without a word become blasphemous at the short fourteenth. It is clear that the game of golf may well be included in that category of intolerable provocations which may legally excuse or mitigate behavior not otherwise excusable. (Quote by - A. P. Herbert)

In the animation world, people who understand pencils and paper usually aren't computer people, and the computer people usually aren't the artistic people, so they always stand on opposite sides of the line. (Quote by - Don Bluth)

Theme-park approach to nature. We judge plants and animals by whether they're entertaining to us. We gravitate toward animals and plants that are big, dramatic, beautiful and at eye-level. (Quote by - Gary Larson)

I don't like small birds. They hop around so merrily outside my window, looking so innocent. but I know that secretly, they're watching my every move and plotting to beat me over the head with a large steel pipe and take my shoe. (Quote by - Jack Handy)

Kissing originates from animals sniffing each other. (Quote by - Ingelore Ebberfeld)

The cat is the only non-gregarious domestic animal. It is retained by its extra-ordinary adhesion to the comforts of the house in which it is reared. (Quote by - Francis Galton)

Cats have it all - admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it. (Quote by - Rod McKuen)
