Human rights is something that wasn't hard to be inspired to write about because there have been so many violations of those rights.

There are a lot of great animal rights organizations who save dogs and save cats, but the Humane Society is actually really good at working with Congress and getting legislation actually passed.

I'm a huge supporter of animal rights - and I've been an outspoken critic of the cruelties routinely inflicted on livestock at factory farms. But it really bothers me that the mistreatment of pigs and chickens and cows seems to attract a lot more attention and spark a lot more outrage than the abuse of immigrant workers.

The more you learn about animals and animal rights - it's an intriguing, fascinating world.

Funnily enough, the most danger I felt was when I did a story about exotic animals kept as pets in America.

The American story is a story of immigration. I would be the last person who would say immigrants are not important to America.

I knew I was getting into one of the most illegal things in the world. It was the right thing to do.

Pet lovers know that animals sometimes understand us better than we do, and the annals of human sin and desire provide plenty of stories to drive the point home.

The story of cats is a story of meat.

The most important of all rights is the right to life, and I cannot foresee a day when domesticated animals will be granted that right in law.
