Animals have families just like us. They have feelings just like us. They have lives just like us. It’s only right that we treat them just like us.

Animals deserve to be treated kindly. They’re living things too and their lives matter.

I was petting a cat at the shelter and she seemed like she was daydreaming about the sun and grass and the one she loved.

Treating animals as if they are inferior to humans is wrong and cruel. All living things are equal.

Suppose that tomorrow a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth, beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals. Would they have the right to treat you as you treat the animals you breed, keep and kill for food?

John Harris, "Killing for Food," 1972

Each year, more than 100 million animals—including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds—are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing.

Each year, approximately 50 million animals raised on fur farms around the world, which account for the majority of the world's fur production, will be killed for their pelts.
