“Are we animals because we're caged, or caged because we're animals? I think it's both.”

“The factory farm industry (in alliance with the pharmaceutical industry) currently has more power than public-health professionals... We give it to them. We have chosen, unwittingly, to fund this industry on a massive scale by eating factory-farmed animal products (and water sold as animal products) - and we do so daily.”

“Factory farming isn't just killing: It is negation, a complete denial of the animal as a living being with his or her own needs and nature. It is not the worst evil we can do, but it is the worst evil we can do to them.”

“Feelings can be like wild animals-we underrate how fierce they are until we've opened their cage”

He really was hilarious. “It’s for you, Mara,” he said. “And it’s a booooy,” he sing-songed.I rolled my eyes but wondered who it could be. “I’m taking it in my room,” I said as Joseph erupted in giggles. Horrible.”
