Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)
"A pioneering feminist and suffragist who supported the 19th century animal welfare movement, Susan B.

Anthony was also the first woman and only vegetarian to be immortalized on American currency."
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) “We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.”
Ariana Grande (Vegan)
"All animals should live happily & safely... Friends Not Food" (2015) / "I love animals more than I love most people, not kidding. But I am a firm believer in eating a full plant-based, whole food diet that can expand your life length and make you an all-around happier person."

Billie Eilish (Vegan)
“I keep my mouth shut most of the time about this because I believe everyone should do, eat, and say whatever they want… and I don’t feel the need to shove what I believe in in anyone’s face,” Eilish wrote in an Instagram Story. “But man… if you can watch the videos that I just posted and not give a [expletive] that it’s YOU contributing by LITERALLY EATING the creatures that are being fully tortured just for your pleasure. I feel sorry for you.” (2020)
