We are beginning to learn that each animal has a life and a place and a role in this world. If we place compassion and care in the middle of all our dealings with the animal world and honor and respect their lives, our attitudes will change.

Never be arrogant or abrasive. Treat your opponent respectfully if they really and truly believe they are right.

In Tanzania, the chimps are isolated in a very tiny patch of forest. I flew over it 13 years ago and realized that, basically, all the trees had gone, that people all around the park are struggling to survive. It became very clear that there was no way to protect the chimps while the people were in this dire circumstance.

Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved.

Thousands of people who say they "love" animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs...

As thy days, so shall thy strength be.

I always loved animals. And when I was ten, I decided I had to go to Africa and live with animals and write books about them.
