The cat in my arms, And the dog at my side, The bird on the wing And the horse on the ride. The frolicsome squirrel That sits in the tree, And the colourful fish That inhabit the sea. I love animals ! I love animals ! The beef in the broth And the veal in the hash, The ham in the sandwich, The mutton goulash. The crab mayonnaise And the partridge on toast, And anything suited To grill, fry, or roast. I love animals ! | *The Cannibal Speaks* I love children! The ones that can toddle And those that can dance, The older ones able To handle the lance. The girls in the huts, And the boys on the lea, And the smallest of all That I rock on my knee. I love children! I love children! Rump Steak Adolescent, Spare Ribs Hottentot, Croquettes Africaine, Served spicy and hot. A ten year old shoulder Each hostess will prize, But the thigh of a baby Brings tears to my eyes. I love children ! (New History) | A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1280 ### Vegan Recipes - [![VEGAN GREEN BEANS SALAD](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/mon%2045_edfcbfda066ddeb9014d5396ba444dd6.jpg "VEGAN GREEN BEANS SALAD")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-green-beans-salad.html "VEGAN GREEN BEANS SALAD") #### [VEGAN GREEN BEANS SALAD](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-green-beans-salad.html "VEGAN GREEN BEANS SALAD") [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) [salads](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/salads.html) [Starters & side dishes](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/snack-side-dishes.html) -
