Every individual can make a difference every day by making conscious choices.

We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.

Even when it comes to things like wars over oil, which may seem like a whole different ball game, there are still comparisons one can draw: chimps fight for their territory; they fight for the resources within that territory, so it does relate in a way.

I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.

Chimps act the way they feel unless they are afraid of reprisal if they do so. But that doesn't apply to humans.

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...

The refugees flee to protect their families from violence; the Europeans, on the other hand, fear for their jobs that they need to feed their families.
