Farm animals feel pleasure and sadness, excitement and resentment, depression, fear, and pain. They are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined...they are individuals in their own right.

Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is all right, as long your values don't change.

I have found that to love and be loved is the most empowering and exhilarating of all human emotions.

A sense of calm came over me. More and more often I found myself thinking, "This is where I belong. This is what I came into this world to do.

We find animals doing things that we, in our arrogance, used to think was "just human".

Farm animals are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right. As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent? Thousands of people who say they ‘love’ animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been treated so with little respect and kindness just to make more meat.

The chimps' way of aggression is quick and brutal. I compare them to gang attacks.
