You have to respect the animals you hunt. That means being responsible enough to know when to take a shot, and when to pass it up. And just getting to know their lifestyles. Hunting is so much more than just killing an animal! ~ Camille Wininger (November 24, 2010)

But over time we realized that our goals are the same
When we started the meetings, I sat right next to a rancher wearing my PETA shirt, and he thought I was the devil incarnate. But over time we realized that our goals are the same. We both want the farmer who treats his animals well to succeed because, in the end, that will reduce animal […]
If I was at a party and there was a tray of cheese sitting there
If I was at a party and there was a tray of cheese sitting there and I had had drinks, then I might have a bite. It’s human. It’s a really good reminder …
Too bad I couldn't watch it get slaughtered and hear it cry
[T]he veal I ate the other night was amazing. Too bad I couldn’t watch it get slaughtered and hear it cry. ~ Justin Ellis (November 6, 2010)

Domestication is an evolutionary, rather than a political, development
To think of domestication as a form of enslavement or even exploitation is to misconstrue the whole relationship, to project a human idea of power onto what is, in fact, an instance of mutualism between species. Domestication is an evolutionary, rather than a political, development. It is certainly not a regime humans imposed on animals […]
They wouldn't produce milk or offspring, so I started eating them
I was a vegetarian from 18 to 24 years old, and I gave up meat partly because I had misgivings about the cruelty to animals. But I began eating meat again when I moved to the [English] countryside and started keeping goats. I had to do something with the male goats. They wouldn’t produce milk […]
We need to learn how to capture and kill wild fish humanely
We need to learn how to capture and kill wild fish humanely—or, if that is not possible, to find less cruel and more sustainable alternatives to eating them. ~ Peter Singer (September 13, 2010)
