The following quotes were shared by these petition supporters: Sallyanne Craig of Caulfield North, Australia "I am sometimes asked, 'Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?' I answer: 'I am working at the roots.'" ― George T. Angell (American lawyer, philanthropist, and founder of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Anita Kanitz of Stuttgart, Germany "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." ― Gandhi G.T. of Columbus, Georgia "He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." ― Immanuel Kant (German philosopher) "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." ― St. Francis of Assisi I would also like to add a quote: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." ― Anatole France (French poet, journalist, and novelist)
