![César Estrada Chávez, non-violent activist on behalf of Latino civil rights and farm workers’ rights, advocate for non-human animal rights, vegan. A true 20th Century hero, worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, whose mantra of "Sí, se puede" became more famous later as Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can” campaign slogan.
Some quotes from this extraordinary, insightful man:
“Kindness and compassion towards all living things is a mark of a civilized society. Conversely, cruelty, whether it is directed against human beings or against animals, is not the exclusive province of any one culture or community of people.”
“I became a vegetarian after realizing that animals feel afraid, cold, hungry and unhappy like we do. I feel very deeply about vegetarianism and the animal kingdom. It was my dog Boycott who led me to question the right of humans to eat other sentient beings.”
“We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves.”
