  • Quotes About the Relationship Between Animals and Humans
    Quotes About The Relationship Between Animals And Humans Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made [man] is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. ~Mark Twain The question is not, "Can they reason?" nor, "Can they talk?" but rather, "Can they suffer?" ~Jeremy Bentham If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth - beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals - would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals? ~Attributed to George Bernard Shaw Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight. ~Albert Schweitzer I had bought two male chimps from a primate colony in Holland. They lived next to each other in separate cages for several months before I used one as a [heart] donor. When we put him to sleep in his cage in preparation for the operation, he chattered and cried incessantly. We attached no significance to this, but it must have made a great impression on his companion, for when we removed the body to the operating room, the other chimp wept bitterly and was inconsolable for days. The incident made a deep impression on me. I vowed never again to experiment with such sensitive creatures. ~Christian Barnard, surgeon Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution.

  • Annual Report 2002 INSIDE-WEB
    CHANGING Hearts and Minds— and Animals’ LIVES N 2004, THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES (HSUS) will celebrate 50 years of protecting all animals, and we are looking forward to our Golden IAnniversary with great anticipation. Melding the past with the present in this Annual Report gives me an opportunity to delineate a few landmarks I’d like to share with you. Early in our history, The HSUS was on the front line in the fight for passage of the Animal Welfare Act and the Humane Slaughter Act, federal legislation that affects billions of animals each year. More recently, as a result of an HSUS investigation, the import and sale of dog and cat fur is now illegal in the United States. We continue to lead efforts to make animal fighting illegal in every state, to make animal cruelty a felony, to eliminate egregious forms of hunting, and to free sows from confinement in gestation crates. We were among the first to work to professionalize the field of animal care and control, and we continue to do so. Today we are pleased to be the preeminent resource for animal shelters around the country. We are developing techniques for nonlethal control of wildlife for animals around the world, as well as bringing to public attention issues such as the cruelty of fur, the horrors of puppy mills, and the tragedy of marine mammals in captivity. We are also teaching people about the joy of living with companion animals, the wonders of living in harmony with our wild neighbors, and the life-affirming benefits of teaching children to care about animals and the environment.

Cat-person and author speaks Series: Metro REPORT St. Petersburg Times- St. Petersburg, Fla. Author: AN IT A McDMTT; JAY PITTS Date: Nov 10, 1990 Start Page: B.3 Section: TAMPA BAY AND STATE Text Word Count: 768 Document Text Cleveland Amory insists he is owned by his cat. The best-selling author ofThe Cat Who Came for Christmas, which spent 22 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, and its sequel, The Cat and the Curmudgeon, spoke to a group of fans and animal lovers at the Clearwater Public Library East on Friday night. Amory left no doubt that he, not Polar Bear, his green-eyed feline companion, is the 'curmudgeon' in the title of his newest book. The Humane Society of North Pinellas brought several stray cats to the book signing hoping to find them homes, said director Rick Chaboudy. Clearwater Mayor Rita Garvey presented Amory, an animal rights activist, with a key to the city. Amory, a Harvard University graduate who said he started his career as the youngest editor ever of the Saturday Evening Post, signed copies of his book and answered questions from fans. He spoke about how he became involved in animal rights causes after he pelted a Mexican bullfighter with a wet stadium cushion. The matador, who was parading around the ring holding up the dead bull's ears, infuriated Amory. 'I just wanted one good shot at the guy,' Amory said. Amory helped start the Fund for Animals in 1967.

  • ARFF News for the Florida Animal Advocate Summer 2015
    ARFF news for the Florida animal advocate Summer 2015 BOARD OF DIRECTORS America’s largest circus to end elephant acts Nanci Alexander In March, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus announced that it will end elephant President acts by 2018. A big reason for the decision, according to company President Kenneth Caren Lesser Feld, “was that certain cities and counties have passed ‘anti-circus’ and ‘anti-elephant’ Vice President ordinances.” Feld explained, “it’s expensive to fight legislation in each jurisdiction. It’s also difficult to plan tours amid constantly changing regulations.” The announcement was an Laura Guttridge acknowledgment of the rising tide of opposition to the use of elephants and other wild Secretary/Treasurer animals in circuses.
