More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Medical research is immoral even it it's essential.
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
Businesses are terrified. They have no idea what I'm going to do next.
Ingrid Newkirk
Cows are gentle, interesting animals.
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
When I hear of anyone walking into a lab and walking out with animals, my heart sings.
Ingrid Newkirk
I know it's illegal [trespassing], but I don't think it's wrong.
Ingrid Newkirk
Every time we consume meat, eggs or dairy foods, we contribute to ecological devastation and the wasteful misuse of resources on a global scale.
Ingrid Newkirk
Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant.
Ingrid Newkirk
The wonderful thing is that it's so incredibly easy to be kind.
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
It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
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
One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.
Ingrid Newkirk
I plan to send my liver somewhere in France, to protest foie gras (liver pate) ... I plan to have handbags made from my skin ... and an umbrella stand made from my seat.
Ingrid Newkirk
Ninety-five percent of the eggs produced in America come from factory-farmed birds. Even if free-range farms were hugely more humane, the sheer number of animals raised to satisfy people's desire for eggs, meat, and milk makes it impossible for us to raise them all on small, free-range farms.
Ingrid Newkirk
It's time for the State Department to permanently change its official policy to allow all members of U.S. citizens' families - no matter what size they are or how many legs they have - to evacuate together when disaster strikes.
Ingrid Newkirk
Being asked to support humane meat means being asked to support the suffering of animals in transport, to approve of treatment that causes them palpable fear, their bodies shaking and their eyes wide as saucers, as they are slung by their legs into crates that are slammed onto the back of a truck.
Ingrid Newkirk
Whether or not we are religious, respecting others should be seen as just as important as looking out for ourselves, yet it requires discipline to change our bad habits that cause pain to animals.
Ingrid Newkirk
If it's anything that's going to result in suffering to animals or people, then I don't think [the end] justifies the means... Yeah but then again if you could hurt ten people to save 100 people and there was no option, what would you do? I can't really address that.
