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

Today, I marvel at the vegan foods in the supermarket, at the cruelty-free clothing choices in stores, and at the fantastic alternatives to dissection in schools, the modern ways to test medicines without killing rabbits and beagles, the many forms of entertainment involving purely human performers.

At PETA, we often say that the issue of how animals are treated isn't just about them; it's about us, how we behave.

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

Anybody who witnesses the suffering of animals and has a glimmer of hope of reducing that suffering can't take the position that it's all or nothing. We have to be pragmatic. Screw the principle.

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.

One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals.
