The bottom line is that people dont have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats ... If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind.

Going meat-free can make a huge difference. Studies show that vegetarians are, on average, 10 to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters and that a vegetarian diet reduces our risk of heart disease by 40 percent and adds seven or more years to our lifespan.

It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
Ingrid Newkirk
Image
Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by.

Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us, as a civilized society, to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.

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.

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
Image
Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant.

Image
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.

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.

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
Image
We have to be aggressive when those we stick up for have no voice. I don't consider it radical to say cruelty is wrong and that animals should be respected. I consider it radical to eat corpses, put electrodes in animals' heads, make elephants live in chains in the circus, and poison animals we consider a nuisance.

One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.

A lot of people have culturally induced ethical blindness, but they can be cured!

Image
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.

Image
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism, because the act of confinement is traumatizing in itself.

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