All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
View quotes by George Orwell

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case. [A Theory of Justice]
View quotes by John Rawls

Animals... don't have a sense of time. You just have to do things over and over with animals until they happen to do it right because they don't really know what you want.
View quotes by Bruce Greenwood
