Book Description
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

--Genesis 1:24-26

In this crucial passage from the Old Testament, God grants mankind power over animals. But with this privilege comes the grave responsibility to respect life, to treat animals with simple dignity and compassion.

"God has "dominion" over man. He gave man "dominion" over the animals Shouldn't we treat them like we want God to treat us?" -Bernard Shaw

"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of
animals as now they look upon the murder of men. - Leonardo da Vinci "

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." -Albert Einstein

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet"-Albert Einstein

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." ~ Albert Einstein

When a man's love of finery clouds his moral judgment, that is vanity. 
When he lets a demanding palate make his moral choices, that is gluttony. 
When he ascribes the divine will to his own whims, that is pride. 
And when he gets angry at being reminded of animal suffering that his own
  daily choices might help avoid, that is moral cowardice.
                    --Matthew Scully, Dominion

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want
to go where they went.
-Will Rogers
