At PETA, we often say that the issue of how animals are treated isn't just about them; it's about us, how we behave.

Elephants have the largest brains of any mammal on the face of the Earth. They are creative, altruistic and kind.

I think if you're against cruelty and you look at what happens to animals in slaughterhouses and on factory farms, you have to be completely against eating meat.

A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all animals.

If Vice President Al Gore advocated killing rabbits to see if women are pregnant and called it a step forward for science, we'd all think he'd gone 'round the bend. We don't need to do that sort of thing anymore, we'd say. We have better, kinder ways.

It is only human supremacy, which is as unacceptable as racism and sexism, that makes us afraid of being more inclusive.

One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals.
