If you have men who will exclude any of god's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Mercy to living beings, self restraint, truth, honesty, chastity and contentment, right faith and knowledge, and austerity are but the entourage of morality. All breathing, existing, living, sentient creatures should not be slain nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away.
All beings tremble before violence.
All fear death, all love life. See yourself in others. There is not an animal on the earth, nor a flying creature on two wings, but they are people like unto you. Even in the worm that crawls in the earth there glows a divine spark. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they don't want to hear.
