Who would have thought the bees would have been the first alien force to invade America?
Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think 'Oh, my God, it's just a little trim,' that animal got clubbed.
The morphic fields include all kinds of organizing fields. . . : The organizing fields of animal and human behaviour, of social and cultural systems, and of mental activity can all be regarded as morphic fields which contain an inherent memory.
I wonder who it was defined man as a rational animal. It was the most premature definition ever given. Man is many things, but he is not rational.
Human reason borrowed many arts from the instinct of animals.
As a general rule of biology, migratory species are less 'aggressive' than sedentary ones. There is one obvious reason why this should be so. The migration itself, like the pilgrimage, is the hard journey: a 'leveller' on which the 'fit' survive and stragglers fall by the wayside. The journey thus pre-empts the need for hierarchies and shows of dominance. The 'dictators' of the animal kingdom are those who live in an ambience of plenty. The anarchists, as always, are the 'gentlemen of the road'.
Before I had my child, animals were my life. I slept with four dogs in my bed.
The case against vivisection is the same as that against war and all other forms of cruelty - that violence does not produce long-term solutions.
Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
I also readily admit that there are animals, taken in the ordinary sense, that are incomparably larger than those we know of, and I have sometimes said in jest that there might be a system like ours which is the pocketwatch of some enormous giant.
My father so appropriately put it that we are certainly the only animal that makes conscious choices that are bad for our survival as a species.
We should be evolving into a new age of business with a worldview that maintains one simple proposition-that all of nature: humans, animals, earth, are interconnected and interdependent.
Animals were not made for us, or our use. They have their own use, which is just being who they are.
It is a cruel folly to offer up to ostentation so many lives of creatures, as to make up the state of our treats.
Man is a two-legged animal without feathers.
As long as man eats animals how can cruelty to animals be removed.
The brain of man, like that of all animals is double, being parted down its centre by a thin membrane. For this reason pain is not always felt in the same part of the head, but sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other, and occasionally all over.
It is a curious paradox of human history that a doctrine that tells human beings to regard themselves as sacrificial animals has been accepted as a doctrine representing benevolence and love for mankind.
I feel strongly about helping fundraise and donating to causes that help children, animals, and the environment. I wish I could do more!
There is no fundamental difference between man and animals in their ability to feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery.
