All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.

I'm not really an animal person.

Animals are in possession of themselves; their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it.

If you're going to love animals and have a life with them, the odds are you're going to lose them. It's helpful when you get a dog to accept the fact that this dog is not going to be with you your whole life.

I urge you to ask yourself just how honorable it is to preside over the abuse and suffering of animals.

Every animal has his or her story, his or her thoughts, daydreams, and interests. All feel joy and love, pain and fear, as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.

It's not so much about killing an animal, it's being at peace and you don't have to worry about all the other things that go on. That's a couple of hours a week that you get to escape but it's nice to do that.

Every time you lose an animal, it's like losing a brick from the house. Pretty soon the house just falls down, you know?

Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.
