Nonhuman Quotes

It’s bad biology to rob nonhuman animals of their emotional lives Picture Quote #1

The infantile cowardice of our time which demands an external pattern, a nonhuman authority Picture Quote #1

The mode of consciousness of nonhuman species is quite different from human consciousness Picture Quote #1

Human animals and nonhuman animals can communicate quite well; if we are brought up around animals as children we take this for granted. By the time we are adults we no longer remember Picture Quote #1

Something nonhuman doesn’t become human by getting older and bigger; whatever is human is human from the beginning Picture Quote #1

So,uh, where am I, exactly ? And what do you plan on doing with me ? You’re at Underworld General Hospital. As you can probably guess, we specialize in nonhuman medical care. Our location is secret, so don’t ask. UGH ? Your hospital is called ‘ugh’ ? Oh, that’s precious Picture Quote #1

It’s the false moral component behind blind animal love that so frosts me. The faulty logic that believes that the capacity to adore a nonhuman creature is somehow a purer form of love Picture Quote #1

This is historically what happens whenever revolutionaries begin to take the oppression and suffering of their fellow beings seriously, whether human or nonhuman. It’s regrettable that certain scientists are willing to put their families at risk by choosing to do wasteful animal experiments in this day and age Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can’t even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness; we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all? Picture Quote #1

When you deal with something like compassion for physical pain, which we know is very, very old in evolution - we can find evidence for it in nonhuman species - the brain processes it at a faster speed. Compassion for mental pain took many seconds longer Picture Quote #1

Technology plows through history at an accelerating rate, shifting the burden of production off labor into the nonhuman factor because man uses his highest ingenuity to avoid servile labor Picture Quote #1

We cannot justify treating any sentient nonhuman as our property, as a resource, as a thing that we an use and kill for our purposes Picture Quote #1

Surely there will be some nonhuman animals whose lives, by any standards, are more valuable than the lives of some humans Picture Quote #1

Reason’s biological function is to preserve and promote life and to postpone its extinction as long as possible. Thinking and acting are not contrary to nature; they are, rather, the foremost features of man’s nature. The most appropriate description of man as differentiated from nonhuman beings is: a being purposively struggling against the forces adverse to his life Picture Quote #1

Something nonhuman doesn’t become human by getting older and bigger; whatever is human is human from the beginning Picture Quote #1

We see quite clearly that what happens to the nonhuman, happens to the human. What happens to the outer world, happens to the inner world Picture Quote #1

Our knowledge and understanding of nonhuman animals is polluted far more than we acknowledge by our belief in our own superiority, our unrecognized cultural programming, and our separation from nature Picture Quote #1

We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures. And nonhuman animals experience pain sensations just like we do. They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional. They too are capable of growth and adaptation. Like us, firsthand foremost, they are earthlings. And like us, they are surviving. Like us they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort. And like us they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive Picture Quote #1
