“There were lots of laws that protected slaves. They didn’t provide any…meaningful protection for slaves because in every situation in which there was a conflict, you’ve got to figure out whose interests matter more: the interest of the property owner or the interest of the property?”
Gary Francione
“Each person within their own psyche has to begin grappling with whether or not nonhuman animals should no longer be treated as slaves, or should they be treated as slaves?”
Steve Wise
“We used to enslave human beings, now we enslave nonhuman beings in very similar ways. It’s only a comfortable thing if you don’t think about it.”
Steve Wise
Peter Singer, Lee Hall, Richard Epstein, Steve Wise, Jarrod Bailey, Sarah Baeckler, Katherine Meyer, Pat Dingle and Gary Francione recommend one thing to improve the lives of animals.
“There’s no comparison. Veganism is the single most important thing that one can do today.”
“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.”
“Please make sure that your opinions on whether research involving chimpanzees is futile or is a necessary evil is an informed opinion.”
“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.”
“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?”
“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.”
