More quotes by 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
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
It is only human supremacy, which is as unacceptable as racism and sexism, that makes us afraid of being more inclusive.
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 will be the last person to condemn ALF [the Animal Liberation Front].
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
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
Businesses are terrified. They have no idea what I'm going to do next.
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
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
A lot of people have culturally induced ethical blindness, but they can be cured!
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
Eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship - enjoyment at a distance.
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
The wonderful thing is that it's so incredibly easy to be kind.
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
You dont have to own squirrels and starlings to get enjoyment from them ... One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals. [Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild ... they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV.
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
It's time to face facts: Most people stop being environmentalists when they sit down to eat.
Ingrid Newkirk
Even painless research is fascism, supremacism...
