He [a true seeker] should succour the dispossessed, and never withhold his favour from the destitute. He should show kindness to animals, how much more unto his fellow-man, to him who is endowed with the power of utterance.
- Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 191
If a man inflict a thousand ills upon a beast, it can neither ward him off with speech nor hale him into court. Therefore is it essential that ye show forth the utmost consideration to the animal, and that ye be even kinder to him than to your fellow-man.
- Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 78
