Whether or not we are religious, respecting others should be seen as just as important as looking out for ourselves, yet it requires discipline to change our bad habits that cause pain to animals.

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

It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.

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

The best bet for the horses would be to stop betting on the Derby and other horse races, and to stop breeding, racing and killing thoroughbreds altogether

Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by.

All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true, how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances, such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
