Animals R Fun on Farms

"Animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do."
                                                                                                ― Gregory Maguire

 "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." 
                                               ― Anatole France

"He could tell by the way animals walked that they were keeping time to some kind of music. Maybe it was the song in their own hearts that they walked to." 
                                                            ― Laura Adams Armer

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ― Mahatma Gandhi

"I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth." 
                                                      ― Walt Whitman

 "Animals are such agreeable friends―they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms." 
                                                                                                  ― George Eliot

 "Let us remember that animals are not mere resources for human consumption. They are splendid beings in their own right, who have evolved alongside us as co-inheritors of all the beauty and abundance of life on this planet"
