Gary L. Francione Thinking Quotations

We do not think clearly about our moral obligations to animals.

If you claim to 'love' animals but you eat animal products, you need to think critically about how you understand love.

We eat animals because they taste good. And if that's O.K., what's wrong with wearing fur? We need as a society to think seriously about our institutionalized animal use.

There is nothing more 'elitist' than thinking our palate pleasure can ever justify a second of suffering or a single death. Please go vegan.

Vegetarianism as a moral position is no more coherent than saying that you think it morally wrong to eat meat from a spotted cow but not morally wrong to eat meat from a non-spotted cow.

If you love animals but think that veganism is extreme, then you are confused about the meaning of love.

If you think that being vegan is difficult, imagine how difficult it is for animals that you are not vegan.
