One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Lee Hall)
“There’s no comparison. Veganism is the single most important thing that one can do today.”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Richard Epstein)
“You really have an obligation when you have an animal to take care of it and to make sure that its offspring are well cared for or to make sure that it can’t have offspring.”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Jarrod Bailey)
“Please make sure that your opinions on whether research involving chimpanzees is futile or is a necessary evil is an informed opinion.”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Sarah Baeckler)
“I don’t think that chimps will continue to be used in entertainment for very much longer. But just don’t go to movies that have them in there. Make the financial dollar sign vote that you’re just not going to support it and write to companies when you see them in ads. It’s a little thing you can do but every voice that a company hears from…it does make a difference.”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Gary Francione)
“Whatever else you’re doing, if you’re not a vegan, I don’t understand what you’re doing. I don’t understand why you care. If you’re eating them, if you’re wearing them, what do you care? Why do you care?”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Katherine Meyer)
“There are so many times when you’ll see an animal struggling or being mistreated or locked up in a hot car or an injured pigeon on the side of the road. Stop and take care of that animal.”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Pat Dingle)
“I can’t tell you how many calls the zoo has gotten, ‘Take my monkey, I’m tired of it now’ type thing. That’s true with a lot of exotic animals. I’d certainly like to see the sale of any primate banned.”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Peter Singer)
“[T]he simplest thing really, is to stop eating them because it’s in the food industry that the greatest amount of abuse of animals occurs. In the United States alone, 10 billion animals get killed for food each year. It’s vast. It dwarfs all of the other forms of abuse of animals.”

One Thing to Improve the Lives of Animals (Steve Wise)
“If you want to help animals in a general way, you have to stop eating them. That’s the number one thing you can do, and it will also help global warming, by the way.”
