My ahimsa is my own. I am not able to accept in its entirety the doctrine of non-killing of animals.

Animal experimentation is the blackest of all the black crimes that a man is at present committing... We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings... I abhor [animal] experimentation with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence... The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Wildlife is decreasing in the jungles, but it is increasing in the towns.

The most violent weapon on earth is the table fork.

Human nature will find itself only when it fully realizes that to be human it has to cease to be beastly or brutal.

It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion toward our fellow creatures.
