I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does, whether right or wrong.

One can't be kind to one person and cruel to another.

As long as man eats animals how can cruelty to animals be removed.

Therefore, vegetarianism alone can give us the quality of com-passion, which distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world.

You are quite correct in saying that I banned the export of monkeys on a humanitarian basis and not because the number was lessening... I believe in preventing cruelty to all living beings in any form.

I would, therefore, say that for no reason whatsoever, except in self-defense, should one think of killing any animal.

All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.
