It is dangerous to engage in even the most innocuous-seeming discourse with the FBI/ Homeland Security/ a local detective.

It is only human supremacy, which is as unacceptable as racism and sexism, that makes us afraid of being more inclusive.

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

I'd go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself...I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day.

U.K. citizens fleeing the Middle East and Japan have been allowed to take their animal companions with them on evacuation flights. The U.S. is not so civilized, and that's a blot on our national copybook.

PETA's campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open children's hearts and minds to animals' needs, teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain - as they do - then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect.

I hope SeaWorld is exploring how, like Ringling, it can get out of the wild animal business.
