A. I do not know, but I do know scientific men have not a moral right to torture and kill harmless, helpless animals. Experimenting in surgery, etc., should be done on humans who believe in the advancement of medical science at the expense of life.
Q. Do you object to the infidel eating flesh food?
A. I do not object to anyone eating flesh food—eat whatever you like, but I do point out the wrong of taking life and I emphatically say the religious institution upholding slaughter is a farce and a pharisaical monument to a man-made deity.
Q. Do you actually consider flesh eating the most abominable of sins?
A. Yes, absolutely the most abominable.
Q. What do you think of religious emotionalism and ecstasy?
A. If from the mouth of a carnivorous worshipper it is sham and pretense—a mockery.
Q. Is not your feeling toward animals mawkish sentimentality?
A. There is no such thing as mawkish sentimentality in decrying inhumanity.
Q. Do not the lower animals prey upon one another, and do not the big fish eat the little fish?
