Another Tolkien quote
This one's from "On Fairy Stories", and goes out to the guys and gals at PETA:
The natural love of men not wholly corrupt for beasts, and the human desire to "get inside the skin" of living things, has run riot. We now get men who love animals more than men; who pity sheep so much that they curse shepherds as wolves; who weep over a slain war-horse and vilify dead soldiers.
Kind of patriarchal, I know. But fitting.
