I think, if you were being cruel to animals, then the thought of eating them would be horrific.

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case.

I definitely could not write a character that was cruel or unconcerned with animal welfare. For me, not just as a writer but for the person I am, I love animals.

Not only is fur cruel, it's also totally gross. I mean, who wants to wear the skin of an abused animal? Not me!

I must be cruel, only to be kind.

I'm not really an animal person.

I wouldn't want to see any animal in pain, no matter what.

I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
