Because animals are property, we consider as "humane treatment" that we would regard as torture if it were inflicted on humans.

There is no moral distinction between fur and other materials made from animals, such as leather, which also is the result of the suffering and death of sentient beings.

We should take good care of the domestic animals we have brought into existence until they die. We should stop bringing more domestic animals into existence.

The theory of animal rights simply is not consistent with the theory of animal welfare... Animal rights means dramatic social changes for humans and non-humans alike; if our bourgeois values prevent us from accepting those changes, then we have no right to call ourselves advocates of animal rights.

People need to be educated so that they can make intelligent moral choices

We should never present flesh as somehow morally distinguishable from dairy. To the extent it is morally wrong to eat flesh, it is as morally wrong - and possibly more morally wrong - to consume dairy

We cannot justify treating any sentient nonhuman as our property, as a resource, as a thing that we an use and kill for our purposes.
