John Jacques Rousseau:
The animals you eat are not those who devour others; you do not

only hunger after sweet and gentle creatures who harm no one,
which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the
reward of their service.

A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food;

While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how
