    —Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)

    “Whatever my own practice may be, I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.”
