Animal liberationists do not separate out the human animal, so there is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They're all mammals.
Although we have, in theory, abolished human slavery, recognized women's rights, and stopped child labor, we continue to enslave other species who, if we simply pay attention, show quite clearly that they experience parental love, pain, and the desire for freedom, just as we do.
I plan to send my liver somewhere in France, to protest foie gras (liver pate) ... I plan to have handbags made from my skin ... and an umbrella stand made from my seat.

Even painless research is fascism, supremacism...
A lot of people have culturally induced ethical blindness, but they can be cured!
I am not a morose person, but I would rather not be here. I don't have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn't be harming anything.
To me, it is one world, and the non-human animals bear the brunt of oppression and suffering.
All tyranny, bigotry, aggression, and cruelty are wrong, and whenever we see it, we must never be silent.
Eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship - enjoyment at a distance.
Perhaps measuring animal intelligence by comparing it to human intelligence isn't the best litmus test.
I don't use the word 'pet.' I think it's speciest language. I prefer 'companion animal.' We would no longer allow... pet shops... Eventually companion animals would be phased out.
I have to think of the positive; that's how I cope.

I think if you're against cruelty and you look at what happens to animals in slaughterhouses and on factory farms, you have to be completely against eating meat.
Even if animal experiments did result in a cure for AIDS, of which there is no chance, I'd be against it on moral grounds.
When we build an attractive home, we raze land on which animals have already built their homes. They have nowhere to go.

Even painless research is fascism, supremacism, because the act of confinement is traumatizing in itself.
Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant.
