Category: Animals Monks Poached by PETA!“Chickens understand sophisticated intellectual concepts, learn from watching each other, demonstrate self-control, worry about the future and even have cultural knowledge that is passed from generation to generation.” - Bruce Friedrich
Earthworms are more important than People“Last week, a reporter called to ask me if I had really said that earth worms are more important than people. I answered that, yes, I had. He then asked how I could justify such a statement. ‘Simple,’ I answered. ‘Earthworms can live on the planet without people. We cannot live on the planet without earthworms, thus from an ecological point of view, earthworms are more important than people.’ ” - Paul Watson
It would be good for other species if all humans died“Among environmentalists sharing two or three beers, the notion is quite common that if only some calamity could wipe out the entire human race, other species once again have the chance.” - Richard Conniff

When I die, I want my body used to promote animal causes.“Upon my death, it is my wish that my body be used in a manner that draws attention to needless animal suffering and exploitation [. . . I want] the ‘meat’ of my body, or a portion thereof, [. . .] used for a human barbecue, to remind the world that the meat of a corpse is all flesh, regardless of whether it comes from a human being or another animal, and that flesh foods are not needed [. . . I want] my skin, or a portion thereof, [. . .] removed and made into leather products, such as purses, to remind the world that human skin and the skin of other animals is the same and that neither is ‘fabric’ nor needed [. . . I want] my feet [. . .] removed and umbrella stands or other ornamentation [. . .] made from them, as a reminder of the depravity of killing innocent animals, such as elephants [. . . I want] one of my eyes [. . .] removed, mounted, and delivered to the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a reminder that PETA will continue to be watching the agency until it stops poisoning and torturing animals in useless and cruel experiments [. . . I want] my pointing finger [. . .] delivered to Kenneth Feld, owner of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, or to a circus museum to stand as the ‘Greatest Accusation on Earth’ on behalf of the countless elephants, lions, tigers, bears, and other animals who have been kidnapped from their families and removed from their homelands [. . . I want] my liver [. . .] vacuum-packed and shipped, in whole or in part, to France, to there be used in a public appeal to persuade shoppers not to support the vile practice of force-feeding geese and ducks for foie gras [. . . I want] one of my ears [. . .] removed, mounted, and sent to the Canadian Parliament to assist them in hearing, for the first time perhaps, the screams of the seals, bears, raccoons, foxes, and minks bludgeoned, trapped, and sometimes skinned alive for their pelts [. . . I want] one of my thumbs [. . .] removed, mounted upwards on a plaque, and sent to the person or institution that, in the year of my death or thereabouts, PETA decides has done the most to promote alternatives to the use and abuse of animals in any area of their exploitation [. . . I want] one of my thumbs [. . .] mounted in a downward position and sent to the person or institution that, in the year of my death or thereabouts, has gone against the changing tide of societal opinion and frightened and hurt animals in some egregious manner [. . . I want] a little part of my heart [. . .] buried near the racetrack at Hockenheim, preferably near the Ferrari pits, where Michael Shumacher raced in and won the German Grand Prix [. . . I want] anything else [. . .] done with my body that PETA believes will serve to draw attention to and so abate the plight of exploited animals.” - Ingrid Newkirk , April 30, 2003.
