If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal.

More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Probably everything we do is a publicity stunt ... we are not here to gather members, to please, to placate, to make friends. We're here to hold the radical line.
Ingrid Newkirk
Animal hoarding was a dirty secret until hoarders appeared on our TV screens and showed how they are compelled to collect so many dogs, cats or parrots that the animals end up in cages only inches bigger than their own bodies. For life.
Ingrid Newkirk
Medical research is immoral even it it's essential.
Ingrid Newkirk
The wonderful thing is that it's so incredibly easy to be kind.
Ingrid Newkirk
Everything we do is based at adults.
Ingrid Newkirk
I am just trying to make the best possible case for the animals. That is clearly what I have been put on earth to do. Even after I am gone I will try to continue.
Ingrid Newkirk
One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.
Ingrid Newkirk
A lot of people have culturally induced ethical blindness, but they can be cured!
Ingrid Newkirk
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism, because the act of confinement is traumatizing in itself.
Ingrid Newkirk
PETA's campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open children's hearts and minds to animals' needs, teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain - as they do - then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect.
Ingrid Newkirk
Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant.
Ingrid Newkirk
The bottom line is that people dont have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats ... If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind.
Ingrid Newkirk
When I hear of anyone walking into a lab and walking out with animals, my heart sings.
Ingrid Newkirk
When it comes to having a central nervous system, and the ability to feel pain, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.
Ingrid Newkirk
Give your dog or cat respect, patience, understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week, that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel.
Ingrid Newkirk
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism...
Ingrid Newkirk
Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by.
Ingrid Newkirk
Elephants have the largest brains of any mammal on the face of the Earth. They are creative, altruistic and kind.
Ingrid Newkirk
I wish we all would get up and go into the labs and take the animals out or burn them down.
Ingrid Newkirk
You dont have to own squirrels and starlings to get enjoyment from them ... One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals. [Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild ... they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV.
Ingrid Newkirk
