“Since we can't count on the meat, egg, and dairy industries to protect...” — Ingrid Newkirk Quote

“Since we can't count on the meat, egg, and dairy industries to protect animals from the most egregious forms of cruelty, what can we, as consumers, do? Opting out of paying someone to allow animals to die in a barn fire or at the slaughterhouse seems pretty reasonable.”

“Pigeons are among the most maligned urban wildlife despite the fact that human beings brought them to our shores and turned them loose in our cities - not something that they chose.”

“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.”

“I don't allow people's outlook on me dictate what I do in my life and how I live my life.”

“Why the heck do we allow the media to ever tell us someone is gross? It makes me so mad. 99% of the world has flaws.”

“I will not allow my experience to scare off other young women or girls from running for office. For the sake of all of us we cannot let that happen.”
