Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal.

Animals aren't any better equipped to survive an emergency than humans are. Few people missed the fact that after Hurricane Katrina, people died because buses and emergency shelters wouldn't allow their animals.

Most Americans, like most Japanese, view their dogs, cats, and other animal companions as family members, and rightly so.

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

I don't use the word 'pet.' I think it's speciest language. I prefer 'companion animal.' We would no longer allow... pet shops... Eventually companion animals would be phased out.

It's time for the State Department to permanently change its official policy to allow all members of U.S. citizens' families - no matter what size they are or how many legs they have - to evacuate together when disaster strikes.

When it comes to pain, love, joy, loneliness, and fear, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.
