More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk

Even painless research is fascism, supremacism...
Ingrid Newkirk
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.

Ingrid Newkirk
I will be the last person to condemn ALF [the Animal Liberation Front].
Ingrid Newkirk

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
Real nutrition comes from soybeans, almonds, rice, and other healthy vegetable sources, not from a cow's udder.
Ingrid Newkirk

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
It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
Ingrid Newkirk
I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much, but I love walking and cuddling somebody else's dog.
Ingrid Newkirk
I'd go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself...I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day.
Ingrid Newkirk
I know it's illegal [trespassing], but I don't think it's wrong.
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.
