We have to create more and more vegetarians, and help people to understand that it is not only the suffering of the animals (which is what made me vegetarian) but also the incredible harm to the environment, the tremendous amount of greenhouse gas created by the whole vast machinery of intensive animal farming.

...it honestly didn't matter how we humans got to be the way we are, whether evolution or special creation was responsible. What mattered and mattered desperately was our future development. Were we going to go on destroying God's creation, fighting each other, hurting the other creatures of the His planet?

Chimps are very quick to have a sudden fight or aggressive episode, but they're equally as good at reconciliation.

I think the most important thing is to keep active, and to hope that your mind stays active.

There are many people out there (me being one of them) who can vouch that animals have feelings; they feel compassion and love, as well as pain!

I still think we are smart enough to not destroy planet Earth, our only home.

The voice of the natural world would be, "Could you please give us space and leave us alone to get along with our own lives and our own ways, because we actually know much better how to do it then when you start interfering."
