"Compassion for animals is  
 intimately connected with  
 goodness of character and it  
 may be confidently asserted  
 that he who is cruel to animals  
 cannot be a good man."  
     Arthur  Schopenhauer, 
            
         
         "I hope to make people 
        realize  
 how totally helpless animals are,  
 how dependent on us, trusting  
 as a child must that we will be  
 kind and take care of their  
 needs ...they are an obligation  
 put on us, a responsibility we  
 have no right to neglect, nor to  
 violate by cruelty."   
          James Herriot,
