More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Medical research is immoral even it it's essential.
Ingrid Newkirk
Society is celebrity-based and we are determined to use [celebrities'] voices to make sure no one forgets there are issues over the use of animals. Celebrities can be great for our cause and can really make people sit up and think for the first time about animal abuse.
Ingrid Newkirk
We’re looking for good lawsuits that will establish the interests of animals as a legitimate area of concern in law.
Ingrid Newkirk
Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal.
Ingrid Newkirk
Fortified plant-based milks are delicious and contain all the calcium, protein, and vitamin D of dairy products but with none of the cholesterol, lactose, hormones, or cruelty found in cow's milk.
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
Everything we do is based at adults.
Ingrid Newkirk

Ingrid Newkirk
When we build an attractive home, we raze land on which animals have already built their homes. They have nowhere to go.
Ingrid Newkirk

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
Businesses are terrified. They have no idea what I'm going to do next.
Ingrid Newkirk
We are not in the home finding business, although it is certainly true that we do find homes from time to time for the kind of animals people are looking for. Our service is to provide a peaceful and painless death to animals who no one wants.
Ingrid Newkirk
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism, because the act of confinement is traumatizing in itself.
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
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 know it's illegal [trespassing], but I don't think it's wrong.
Ingrid Newkirk
Animals aren't any better equipped to survive an emergency than humans are. Few people missed the fact that after Hurricane Katrina, people died because buses and emergency shelters wouldn't allow their animals.
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
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.
