Since we can't count on the meat, egg, and dairy industries to protect animals from the most egregious forms of cruelty, what can we, as consumers, do? Opting out of paying someone to allow animals to die in a barn fire or at the slaughterhouse seems pretty reasonable.

It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.

Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses.

We’re looking for good lawsuits that will establish the interests of animals as a legitimate area of concern in law.

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.

A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all animals.

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