<span style="color: #ff8100; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty."

<span style="color: #ff8100; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. No animal in England is free. The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth."

<span style="color: #ff8100; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"Is it because this land of ours is so poor that it cannot afford a decent life to those who dwell upon it? No, comrades, a thousand times no!"

<span style="color: #ff8100; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you comrades: Rebellion!"

<span style="color: #ff8100; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">"All men are enemies. All animals are comrades."
