Certainly it's very often true that women tend to be a bit quieter and more prepared to sit there and let the animal tell you things.

There isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. All the time, we find animals doing things that, in our arrogance, we thought were just human.

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 only possible way to get somebody to change is to reach into their hearts.

My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn't have any money, because Africa was the 'dark continent', and because I was a girl.

Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.

We have turned away from the natural world. Instead, it's all about money and power.
