"Dia mengatakan bahwa orang-orang yang mencintai [hewan] berlebihan mampu melakukan kekejaman terburuk terhadap manusia. Dia mengatakan bahwa anjing tidak setia tetapi budak, bahwa kucing adalah oportunis dan pengkhianat, bahwa merak adalah pembawa maut, bahwa macaw hanyalah gangguan dekoratif, bahwa kelinci menimbulkan keserakahan, bahwa monyet membawa demam nafsu, dan bahwa ayam jantan dikutuk karena mereka terlibat dalam tiga penyangkalan Kristus."

He said that people who loved [animals] to excess were capable of the worst cruelties toward human beings. He said that dogs were not loyal but servile, that cats were opportunists and traitors, that peacocks were heralds of death, that macaws were simply decorative annoyances, that rabbits fomented greed, that monkeys carried the fever of lust, and that roosters were damned because they had been complicit in the three denials of Christ.
