The wonderful thing is that it's so incredibly easy to be kind.

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

Ninety-five percent of the eggs produced in America come from factory-farmed birds. Even if free-range farms were hugely more humane, the sheer number of animals raised to satisfy people's desire for eggs, meat, and milk makes it impossible for us to raise them all on small, free-range farms.

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.

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.

Perhaps measuring animal intelligence by comparing it to human intelligence isn't the best litmus test.

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