Animal Cruelty/Animal Rights in Quotes

  I just read a horrible story about a man who decapitated his horse and then fed it to the dogs.  He used a sledgehammer to kill it and a  chainsaw to decapitate it. He tried to blame it on the dogs, until they found his weapons.  Made me so sad, I wish I hadn't read the story.

  So, I went to another Animal Rights site and found these cool quotes on Animals.
