Comparing slaughtering animals with the Holocaust.
“Like the victims of the Holocaust, animals are rounded up, trucked hundreds of miles to the kill floor and slaughtered. Comparisons to the Holocaust are not only appropriate but inescapable because, whether we wish to admit it or not, cows, chickens, pigs and turkeys are as capable of feeling loneliness, fear, pain, joy and affection as we are. To those who defend the modern-day holocaust on animals by saying that animals are slaughtered for food and give us sustenance, I ask: If the victims of the Holocaust had been eaten, would that have justified the abuse and murder? Did the fact that lamp shades, soaps and other ‘useful’ products were made from their bodies excuse the Holocaust? No. Pain is pain.”

The taboo on bestiality.
“[P]hysical similarities between humans and other mammals . . . are so strong that the taboo on bestiality stems not from physical differences but from ‘our desire to differentiate ourselves, erotically and in every other way, from animals.’”

Sexual activities with your dog.
“Who has not been at a social occasion disrupted by the household dog gripping the legs of a visitor and vigorously rubbing its penis against them? In private not everyone objects to being used by her or his dog in this way, and occasionally mutually satisfying activities may develop.”
- Peter Singer
