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
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism...

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.

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.

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
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism, because the act of confinement is traumatizing in itself.
Ingrid Newkirk
One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.
Ingrid Newkirk
Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal.
Ingrid Newkirk
It is only human supremacy, which is as unacceptable as racism and sexism, that makes us afraid of being more inclusive.
Ingrid Newkirk
It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
Ingrid Newkirk
Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
Ingrid Newkirk
The wonderful thing is that it's so incredibly easy to be 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
The extinction of Homo Sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species. Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on Earth - social and environmental.
Ingrid Newkirk
Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation.
