Earthlings Quotes?!


Question: If you have seen the Earthlings Documentary (narrated by Joaquin Phoenix), what is your favorite quote from it? (It was full of them, and I can't find a list of the best ones anywhere).

If you haven't seen it, what are some other quotes you like?

My favorite:
"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals... We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far beneath ourselves. And therein we err, we greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complex than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."
-Henry Beston (quote featured in Earthlings)

I love that movie. It changed my life. Can't quote from it, but my favorite vegan quote is this:

But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh, we deprive a soul of the sun and light and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy.

Save Animals:

Put them in the fridge.
