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

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
Give your dog or cat respect, patience, understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week, that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel.
Ingrid Newkirk
...no movement for social change has ever succeeded without 'the militarism component'....Thinkers may prepare revolutions, but bandits must carry them out
Ingrid Newkirk
Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
Ingrid Newkirk
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.
Ingrid Newkirk
I have to think of the positive that's how I cope.
Ingrid Newkirk
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.
Ingrid Newkirk
It's time for the State Department to permanently change its official policy to allow all members of U.S. citizens' families - no matter what size they are or how many legs they have - to evacuate together when disaster strikes.
Ingrid Newkirk
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.
Ingrid Newkirk
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.
Ingrid Newkirk
Medical research is immoral even it it's essential.
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
Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant.
Ingrid Newkirk
I'd go to work early, before anyone got there, and I would just kill the animals myself...I must have killed a thousand of them, sometimes dozens every day.
Ingrid Newkirk
If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal.
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
It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.
Ingrid Newkirk
The wonderful thing is that it's so incredibly easy to be kind.
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
It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
