I find that as I get older I seem to become more of a Luddite... And hearing animal experimenters describe me as a Luddite--which used to think I was not. And now I think Ned Lud had the right idea and we should have stopped all the machinery way back when, and learned to live simple lives.

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

Even painless research is fascism, supremacism...

Medical research is "immoral even it it's essential."

Our nonviolent tactics are not as effective. We ask nicely for years and get nothing. Someone makes a threat, and it works.

I have to think of the positive; that's how I cope.

If my father had a heart attack it would give me no solace at all to know his treatment was first tried on a dog.
