What differentiates us from animals is the fact that we can listen to other people's dreams fears joys sorrows desires and defeats - and they in turn can listen to ours.

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.

A vegan diet takes care of most of what we need to do. But you'll also want to minimize the use of oils generally because while olive oil and other vegetable oils are better for your heart than chicken fat they are as fattening as animal fats.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs. The last thing a poor person can afford is a heart attack or cancer or a stroke. And that's all linked to a meat-based diet. I think animal liberation is human liberation.

I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health a vegan diet was the best decision.

Cutting meat out of your diet is the best thing you can do for animals and your own health.

Just as predatory animals follow a similar general design and behave in similar ways so organizations especially those in competition with one another must follow certain design principles if they are to succeed and prevail.

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face but the traditional animation was spectacular.

Leopard is an animal design and my designs come from nature.

People on death row the treatment of animals women's right to choose. So much in America is based on religious fundamentalist Christianity. Grow up! This is the modern world!

The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes.

We have abolished the death penalty for humans so why should it continue for animals?

Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.

Physical bravery is an animal instinct moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.

I won't go into detail but this animated one the story line is very cool and the kids seem to love it.

'Allen Gregory' came about because we wanted an animated show and we were just tossing around some ideas about me playing a 7-year-old. We thought that would be cool because we couldn't do that in real life.

What's cool is when you're able to give your audience imagination and you don't have to cage them in like animals.

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.

I first became a vegetarian when I was nine in response to an argument made by a radical babysitter. My great change - which lasted a couple of weeks - was based on the very simple instinct that it's wrong to kill animals for food.

Maybe one day the world will change that we'll be in a luxurious position of being able to debate whether or not it's inherently wrong to eat animals but the question doesn't matter right now.

You look at a herd of cattle and well they all look the same... but they know. They all have an individual personality and those personalities change from day to day. They can have their grumpy days and their happy days and their serene days. But it's unpredictable. You can't be off in outer space when you're dealing with animals.

When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain they behave in ways suggestive of pain and the change in behaviour may last several hours.

I hope to bring much more attention to important issues and change for issues and practices that are harming animals.
