Leo Tolstoy
This man is regarded by many lovers of literature as the greatest of all novelists, but he was also a noteworthy philosopher, and his reflections on life had taught him to be kind to both man and beast. He was a formost castigator of religion hailing as hypocrites those that makes bold claims to compassion but who are not prepared to live it. Tolstoy was one in a long line of celebrities who recoginized that if man desires a rightoues course his first act should be the abstinence of injury to animals, as these are often the ones who cannot defend themselves. As the writer of war and peace he was acutely aware that causing harm to animals is the root cause of our warring and afficting harm upon our fellow humans, and he clearly demonstated the wisdom of growing in consideration for all creatures. |
