Take Heart!
From Christian Vegetarian Association (CVA)

Cardinal John Henry Newman

Animals have done us no harm and they have no power of resistance. Cruelty to animals is as if man did not love God. There is something so very dreadful, so Satanic, in tormenting those who have never harmed us, who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power."

“...there is something so very dreadful, so satanic in tormenting those who have never harmed us, and who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power, who have weapons neither of offence nor defense, that none but very hardened persons can endure the thought of it.

(1801 - 1890)
Leader of the Anglican Oxford Movement, Father of Vatican II
