"When I was 12, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and
something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature [who] was as happy as I was
when I woke up this morning. "
Marv Levy (football head coach)
"When a man wants to murder a tiger, it's called sport; when the tiger wants to murder him it's called
ferocity."
George Bernard Shaw
"The person who kills for fun is announcing that, could he get away with it, he'd kill you for fun.
Your...life may be of no consequence to anyone else but is invaluable to you because it's the only
one you've got. Exactly the same is true of each individual deer, hare, rabbit, fox, fish, pheasant and
butterfly. Humans should enjoy their own lives, not taking others'. "
Brigid Brophy
"There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who
are weaker than he is. "
Isaac Bashevis Singer
"But what pleasure can it possibly be to a man of culture...when a splendid beast is transfixed with a
hunting spear? "
Marcus Tilluis Cicero
"Behind every beautiful fur, there is a story. It is a bloody, barbaric story. "
Mary Tyler Moore
"Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it. A
woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she's truly
beautiful. "
Doris Day
"Fur used to turn heads, now it turns stomachs."
Rue McClanahan
