The logical conclusion to a compassionate and respectful relationship to sentient animals is that we stop eating them.

I sense that, without sensitivity to physical pain and pleasure, man would not have known self-interest, and consequently know just or unjust acts. Thus, physical sensitivity and self-interest are the authors of all justice.

The more we learn, the more questions arise.

Anyone who's lived with companion cats or dogs knows that they are unique individuals with their own personalities. I think animals' secret to getting along is that they are not burdened by an ego.

Humankind won't find peace as long as we're treating feeling animals as if they were so many blocks of wood.

People don't like change when it comes to changing their own lifestyle habits.

I think we're insecure about our self-imposed spot at the top of the pyramid of life. New studies are continually undermining our superiority complex and forcing us to reconsider our relationship to animals.
