Love animals.
God has given them the rudiments
of thought and joy untroubled.
Do not trouble their joy, do not
haress them, do not deprive them
of their happiness, do not work against God's intent.
Man, do not pride yourself on your superioity
to animals.
They are without sin, and you, with
your greatness,
defile the earth by your appearance
on it and leave traces of your foulness
after you.
---- Dostoesky
