Quotes from Animal Rights Activists

“We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of
livestock produced through selective breeding. One generation and out. We have
no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human
selective breeding.”   Wayne Pacelle, Senior VP of Humane Society of the US,
formerly of Friends of Animals and Fund for Animals, Animal People, May, 1993.

“I don’t have a hands-on fondness for animals…To this day I don’t
feel bonded to any non-human animal. I like them and I pet them and I’m kind to
them, but there’s no special bond between me and other animals.” Wayne Pacelle,
of the Humane Society of the United States, quoted in Bloodties: Nature,
Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 251.

“Breeders must be eliminated! As long as there is a surplus of
companion animals in the concentration camps referred to as “shelters”, and
they are killing them because they are homeless, one should not be allowed to
produce more for their own amusement and profit. If you know of a breeder in
the Los Angeles area, whether commercial or private, legal or illegal, let us
know and we will post their name, location, phone number so people can write
them letters telling them ‘Don’t Breed or Buy, While Others DIE.’” “Breeders!
Let’s get rid of them too!” Campaign on Animal Defense League’s website, September 2, 2003

“It is time we demand an end to the misguided and
abusive concept of animal ownership. The first step on this long, but just,
road would be ending the concept of pet ownership.” Elliot Katz, President “In
Defense of Animals,” Spring 1997

“In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole
notion of pets altogether.” Ingrid Newkirk, national Director, People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), Newsday, 2/21/88

“I don’t use the word “pet.” I think it’s speciesist
language. I prefer “companion animal.” For
one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different
breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their
homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the
streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would
with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially
engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion
animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic
relationship – enjoyment at a distance.” Ingrid Newkirk, national Director,
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), The
Harper’s Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

“Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by

“You don’t have to own squirrels and starlings to get enjoyment from
them … One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals.
[Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild … they would have full
lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them
and then sit there and watch TV,” Ingrid Newkirk, national director, People for
the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), Chicago Daily Herald, March 1, 1990.

“I’m not only uninterested in having children. I am opposed to
having children. Having a purebred human baby is like having a purebred dog; it
is nothing but vanity, human vanity.” Ingrid Newkirk, PeTA’s founder and
president, New Yorker, April 23, 2003.

“The bottom line is that people don’t have the right to manipulate
or to breed dogs and cats … If people want toys, they should buy inanimate
objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind,”
Ingrid Newkirk, founder, president and former national director, People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), Animals, May/June 1993

fighting and dog fighting.” Wayne Pacelle, Senior VP Humane Society of the US

Daily Chronicle, October 8,1991.

“We are going to use the ballot box and the democratic process to
stop all hunting in the United States … We will take it species by species

state. Wayne Pacelle, Senior VP Humane Society of the US (HSUS), formerly of

“We are not terrorists, but we are a threat. We are a threat both

win.” Dr. Steven Best, speaking at International Animal Rights Gathering 2005.

“There are about 2,000 people prepared at any one time to take
action for us … The children [of targeted scientists and executives] are
enjoying a lifestyle built on the blood and abuse of innocent animals. Why
should they be allowed to close the door on that and sit down and watch TV and
enjoy themselves when animals are suffering and dying because of the actions of
the family breadwinner? They are a justifiable target for protest.” Robin Webb,
ALF leader, Sunday Herald (Scotland) Sept. 19, 2004.

“It won’t ruin our movement if someone gets killed in an animal
rights action. It’s going to happen sooner or later. The Animal Liberation
Front, the Earth Liberation Front — sooner or later there’s going to be someone
getting hurt. And we have to accept that fact. It’s going to happen. It’s not
going to hurt our movement. Our movement will go on. And it’s important that we
not let the bully pulpit of the FBI and the other oppression agencies stop us
from what we’re doing. They are the violent ones. They are the terrorists … we
have to keep doing what we’re doing.” Jerry Vlasak, PCRM spokesman and Director
of ADL, speaking at the Animal Rights 2004 convention (July 8-11).
