by Rabbi David Rosen, former Chief Rabbi of Ireland

"Being compassionate toward animal life is not just a matter of being responsible for animal life, which we have very clearly laid down in the Torah, expounded by our sages, but is a matter of imbuing ourselves with the right kind of values.

If we are insensitive towards animal life, then we desensitize ourselves as human beings. And therefore a truly sensitive human being, compassionate towards other human beings, should be compassionate towards animals."
~Rabbi David Rosen, former Chief Rabbi of Ireland
