Animals Quote by Anonymous
“How weird is it that we call certain animals pets and treat them like members of the family, and yet other animals we label food and suck the meat off their bones... we have so many food choices and options, so why make an animal suffer, and why take the life of another living thing, if I don't really need it in order to survive.”
