We’re looking for good lawsuits that will establish the interests of animals as a legitimate area of concern in law.

[I believe] that animals have a worth in and of themselves, and that they are not inferior to human beings but rather just different from us, and that they really don't exist for us nor do they belong to us...it should not be a question of how they should be treated within the context of their usefulness, or perceived usefulness, to us, but rather whether we have a right to use them at all.

Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses.

Would I rather the research lab that tests animals is reduced to a bunch of cinders? Yes.

We all have prejudices to dispel: the need to get away from thinking that 'I' am important and special and 'you' are not, and the frightened mindset that tells us that certain 'others' are of no consequence.

When it comes to having a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.

I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much, but I love walking and cuddling somebody else's dog.
