2. Famous Quote
“The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.” ~ Schopenhauer, German philosopher
3. The Benefits of Not Eating Animals
This article refers to the health, environmental and animal welfare reasons behind not eating any type of meat (fish, chicken or beef).

4. Bible Verse
(RSV) Romans 5:3-4
"We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
We live in a world where suffering is inevitable. However, suffering can help us grow in our Faith, knowing that God has a perfect plan for all of Creation.
