There is no question in my mind: reading Gandhi's autobiography changed my life.

It is not an act of kindness to treat animals respectfully. It is an act of justice.

The culture isn't set up to embrace what we think and feel. Any doubt about that, just watch the ads on TV. They tell you where the dominant culture's values are - and they're not vegan!

If abandoning animal research means that there are some things we cannot learn, then so be it ... We have no basic right ... not to be harmed by those natural diseases we are heir to.

In a perfect world, we would not keep animals for our benefit, including pets.

What could be the basis of our having more inherent value than animals? Their lack of reason, or autonomy, or intellect? Only if we are willing to make the same judgment in the case of humans who are similarly deficient.

Live your life in ways that do not support wars, whosoever are the victims.
