For today’s Blog I chose quotations by the following: Paul Harvey,
David Starr Jordan, M.D., Margaret Mead, and George Bernard Shaw.
“Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with
animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't
vote.”
Paul Harvey, American Radio Commentator
“Our treatment of animals will someday be considered barbarous. There
cannot be perfect civilization until man realizes that the rights of
every living creature are as sacred as his own.”
David Starr Jordan, M.D. (1851-1931)
Dr. Jordan was a noted educator, scientist and peace activist. An expert
in many fields, he was president of Indiana University and later
president of Stanford University.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can
change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
“One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to
kill or torture an animal and get away with it.”
Margaret Mead, American Anthropologist (1901-1978)
“Atrocities are no less atrocities when they occur in laboratories
and are called medical research.”
“Custom will reconcile people to any atrocity; and fashion will drive
them to acquire any custom.”
George Bernard Shaw, (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950), Irish Playwright
and Critic awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar
(1938) for his work on the film Pygmalion.
