“If you really care about animals, then stop trying to figure out how to exploit them 'compassionately'. Just stop exploiting them.”

“We know we cannot be kind to animals until we stop exploiting them -- exploiting animals in the name of science, exploiting animals in the name of sport, exploiting animals in the name of fashion, and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.”

“When it comes to animal agriculture, there is conventional, which is really hideous, and "compassionate" or "certified humane" or whatever, which *may* be *slightly* less hideous. But it's all torture. It's all wrong. These "happy" gimmicks are just designed to make the public feel better about exploiting animals. Don't buy the propaganda of "happy" exploitation. Go vegan and promote veganism.”

“Remember that animals are born to live their own lives, not to serve you! Do not use them; do not exploit them. Let them live their own lives.”

“When someone's wounded, the first order of business is to stop the bleeding. You can figure out later how best to help them heal.”

“Poets are shameless with their experiences: they exploit them.”
