Elephants have the largest brains of any mammal on the face of the Earth. They are creative, altruistic and kind.

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.

From Ingrid Newkirk

It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.

From Ingrid Newkirk

A lot of people have culturally induced ethical blindness, but they can be cured!

From 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.

From Ingrid Newkirk

All tyranny, bigotry, aggression, and cruelty are wrong, and whenever we see it, we must never be silent.

From Ingrid Newkirk

One hates to be absolute, but in my view, there is no such thing as humane meat.

From Ingrid Newkirk

There's nothing humane about the flesh of animals who have had one or two or even three improvements made in their singularly rotten lives on today's factory farms.

From 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.

From Ingrid Newkirk

All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true, how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances, such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
