More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
If you like to bake with eggs, you can substitute Ener-G egg replacer, bananas, tofu, or many other ingredients. You get the hang of it quickly enough.
Ingrid Newkirk
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism, because the act of confinement is traumatizing in itself.
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
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
Eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship - enjoyment at a distance.
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
I have to think of the positive that's how I cope.
Ingrid Newkirk
Everything we do is based at adults.
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
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
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
Consumers of meat, eggs and dairy products might well ask what they are supporting. Do farmers care about anyone but themselves? Can't anyone see the cow for the cheese?
Ingrid Newkirk
A lot of people have culturally induced ethical blindness, but they can be cured!
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
One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.
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 will be the last person to condemn ALF [the Animal Liberation Front].
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
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.
