“Animals are my friends and I don’t eat my friends.” —George Bernard Shaw

“Going meat-free can make a huge difference.   Studies show that vegetarians are, on average, 10 to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters and that a vegetarian diet reduces our risk of heart disease by 40 percent and adds seven or more years to our lifespan.  It’s healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.”—Ingrid Newkirk

“I like animals, all animals.  I wouldn’t hurt a cat or a dog—or a chicken or a cow.  And I wouldn’t ask someone else to hurt them for me.   That’s why I’m a vegetarian.”—Peter Dinklage
