Ingrid Newkirk Pet Quotations

Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by.

Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation.

In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether,

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.

....we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals.
