I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.

History is a people's memory and without a memory man is demoted to the lower animals.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.

But the fact of the matter is that all scientific evidence would show based upon what we know about this disease that muscle cuts - that is the meat of the animal itself - should not cause any risk to human health.

Great Britain had a much different situation than we do and did here in the United States in that they had literally thousands of infected animals with human health risks. Their infectivity in this disease happened before very much was known about it.

Science is the international language so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science that's a real success story for us.

As an integral part of the Department of Agriculture the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service monitors our Nation's agriculture to protect against agricultural pests and diseases.

By adopting a wonderful mutt you'll save a life and help reduce animal homelessness while also boosting your chances of a more robust new furry friend as mixed-breed dogs have demonstrated better health and longer life spans than their purebred cousins.

I'm always active in trying to educate people when it comes to eating animal products testing on animals and the health benefits of being vegan although I'm probably not the best person to be talking about the latter at the moment.

I'm not into animal rights. I'm only into animal welfare and health. I've been with the Morris Animal Foundation since the '70s. We're a health organization. We fund campaign health studies for dogs cats lizards and wildlife. I've worked with the L.A. Zoo for about the same length of time. I get my animal fixes!

As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals they will kill each other.

It is in his knowledge that man has found his greatness and his happiness the high superiority which he holds over the other animals who inhabit the earth with him and consequently no ignorance is probably without loss to him no error without evil.

I remember that. I was talking to him and I said how great it would be if actors had a tail because I have animals and a tail is so expressive. On a cat you can tell everything. You can tell if they're annoyed. You can tell whether they're scared.

The theoretical understanding of the world which is the aim of philosophy is not a matter of great practical importance to animals or to savages or even to most civilised men.

Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.

Man is a credulous animal and must believe something in the absence of good grounds for belief he will be satisfied with bad ones.

If God did not intend for us to eat animals then why did he make them out of meat?

Man is an exception whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

God sleeps in the minerals awakens in plants walks in animals and thinks in man.

We are perhaps uniquely among the earth's creatures the worrying animal. We worry away our lives fearing the future discontent with the present unable to take in the idea of dying unable to sit still.

Animals are sentient intelligent perceptive funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.

I love things made out of animals. It's just so funny to think of someone saying 'I need a letter opener. I guess I'll have to kill a deer.

They took their meals together and it was remarked on such occasions when the friendship of animals is put to a hard test that they never quarrelled or disputed the possession of a favourite fruit with each other.

It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal... one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly.
