Perhaps the mere idea of receiving a nasty missive will allow animal researchers to empathize with their victims for the first time in their lousy careers. I find it small wonder that the laboratories aren't all burning to the ground. If I had more guts, I'd light a match.

Animal liberationists do not separate out the human animal, so there is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all mammals.

One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.

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.

To me, it is one world, and the non-human animals bear the brunt of oppression and suffering.

In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether.

Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation.
