More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
We do not advocate 'right to life' for animals.
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
We all have prejudices to dispel: the need to get away from thinking that 'I' am important and special and 'you' are not, and the frightened mindset that tells us that certain 'others' are of no consequence.
Ingrid Newkirk
When I hear of anyone walking into a lab and walking out with animals, my heart sings.
Ingrid Newkirk
Since we can't count on the meat, egg, and dairy industries to protect animals from the most egregious forms of cruelty, what can we, as consumers, do? Opting out of paying someone to allow animals to die in a barn fire or at the slaughterhouse seems pretty reasonable.
Ingrid Newkirk
Medical research is immoral even it it's essential.
Ingrid Newkirk
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism...
Ingrid Newkirk
That's what the Nazis did, isn't it? Treated those others they thought subhuman by making them lab subjects and so on. Even the Nazis didn't eat the objects of their derision.
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
It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.
Ingrid Newkirk
It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
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
Never doubt that one person can make a difference.
Ingrid Newkirk
If my father had a heart attack it would give me no solace at all to know his treatment was first tried on a dog.
Ingrid Newkirk
I have to think of the positive that's how I cope.
Ingrid Newkirk
Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal.
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.
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
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
Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by.
Ingrid Newkirk
