Love animals:

God has given them the rudiments of

thought and joy untroubled.

Do not trouble their joy,

do not harass them,

do not deprive them of their happiness,

do not work against God's intent.

Man, do not pride yourself

on superiority to animals;

they are without sin,

and you, with your greatness,

defile the Earth by your

appearance on it,

and leave the traces

of your foulness after you

alas, it is true of

almost every one of us!

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
