If all the beasts were gone,
Men would die from loneliness of spirit,
Since whatever happens to the beasts
Also happens to man.
All things are connected
Whatever befalls the earth
Befalls the sons of the earth.
~Chief Seattle~

It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that truly makes him a man.   Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace.
~Albert Schweitzer~

Those who seek to understand,
know that they are not cruel.
They kill only what they need,
living by mother nature's rule.
So when you hear a wolf's howl,
listen to it to the full,
Feel its primeval beauty,
way deep down in your soul!
