More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
PETA's campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open children's hearts and minds to animals' needs, teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain - as they do - then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect.

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
It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.
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
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
When I hear of anyone walking into a lab and walking out with animals, my heart sings.
Ingrid Newkirk
I have to think of the positive that's how I cope.

By adopting a wonderful mutt, you'll save a life and help reduce animal homelessness while also boosting your chances of a more robust new furry friend, as mixed-breed dogs have demonstrated better health and longer life spans than their purebred cousins.
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
Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
Ingrid Newkirk
