When God had made the earth and sky, 
The flowers and the trees. 
He then made all the animals, 
The fish, the birds and bees. 
And when at last He'd finished, 
Not one was quite the same. 
He said, "I'll walk this world of mine, 
And give each one a name." 
And so He traveled far and wide 
And everywhere He went, 
A little creature followed Him 
Until its strength was spent. 
When all were named upon the earth 
And in the sky and sea, 
The little creature said, "Dear Lord, 
There's not one left for me." 
Kindly the Father said to him, 
"I've left you to the end. 
I've turned my own name back to front 
And called you dog, my friend."

Hunting is not a sport.  In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game.  ~Paul Rodriguez

I believe in animal rights, and high among them is the right to the gentle stroke of a human hand.  ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is:  "Because the animals are like us."  Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is:  "Because the animals are not like us."  Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.  ~Charles R. Magel

God loved the birds and invented trees.  Man loved the birds and invented cages.  ~Jacques Deval, Afin de vivre bel et bien

The basis of all animal rights should be the Golden Rule:  we should treat them as we would wish them to treat us, were any other species in our dominant position.  ~Christine Stevens

Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar.  ~Bradley Millar
