“25 years ago, the world lost a powerful voice for animals in River Phoenix 💔 We’re remembering him today (and every day) as a kind, gentle soul who still influences so many.”

— via PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

“Peace begins with you. Now. We must light the lamp of our consciousness so that we never react without thinking and questioning the means to get to the end that we are seeking. Because if the path along the way is covered with thorns, selfishness, cruelty, and greed, you can be pretty sure that the result will lead us to just about where we are today… near the end, if we don’t do something quickly. Therefore, I question everything with my consciousness lamp on to see if the road I take along the way will lead me to peace. In my life, I decided:

— Not to eat meat or animals products or to use their skins for my clothing, shoes, or decorations. There’s such immense cruelty involved with the raising of animals for human consumption that if I can stop their pain by boycotting their products, I will immediately make a difference

— To recycle. Also to question my habits of consumption. I try to use less of everything and reuse things whenever I can

— To speak out and know that my voice can be heard by writing government officials, becoming politically active, lobbying in Washington, and becoming part of peaceful, educational demonstrations

— To use less and less of those things that add to the demise of our planet”

[Excerpt from River’s Earth Day essay, Seventeen Magazine, April 1990]

Q: Do you think animals experience pain the same as human beings do?

“It’s all relative. Some small animals have less sensitive nerve endings, while lobsters are some of the most pain-sensitive creatures on Earth. Pain isn’t so much the point, as the value of all life. We shouldn’t be killing other creatures when it’s not necessary. We’re at war with nature if we continue exploiting animals when we don’t need to for survival.” [Sassy Magazine, October 1989]

Some helpful pics to save for the next time an omnivore tells you plant sources of these vital nutrients don’t exist. (Or for if you’re trying to up your intake of any of them!)

Have a beautiful day! 🌻
