Tolstoy: "We should take pity on animals in the same way as we do on each other...." (more)

The killing and eating of animals is a prejudice accepted
by those who think that animals were given to people by
God to eat, so that there is nothing wrong in killing them.
This is not true. It may be written in some books that it is
not a sin to kill an animal, but it is written in our own
hearts more clearly than in any books—that we should
take pity on animals in the same way as we do on each
other. And we all know this, if we do not deaden the voice
of our conscience inside of us.
