“Our economic order is tightly woven around the exploitation of animals, and while it may seem easy to dismiss concern about animals as the soft-headed mental masturbation of people who really don't understand oppression and the depths of actual human misery, I hope to get you to think differently about suffering and pain, to convince you that animals matter, and to argue that anyone serious about ending domination and hierarchy needs to think critically about bringing animals into consideration.” PeopleThinkingNeedsHumansMayMatterSeemsPainSufferingOrderEasyAnimalEconomicSeriousConcernMiseryDepthArguingOppressionConsiderationConvinceVegetarianVeganExploitationDominationHierarchyWovenMasturbationEconomic OrderSuffering And Pain Author:Bob Torres

“People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but animated machines.... It appears to me, besides, that such people can never have observed with attention the character of animals, not to have distinguished among them the different voices of need, of suffering, of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their affections. It would be very strange that they should express so well what they could not feel.” PeopleNeedsFeelsShouldWellsDifferentCharacterSeemsWould BePainJoySufferingHumanityVoiceNaturalAnimalAttentionStrangeMachinesPhilosophicalAffectionDareCrueltyVeganAnimal RightsDistinguishedAnimatedAnimal WelfareAnimal CrueltyAnimal WorldAnimal LifeAnimal EthicsAnimal TestingKindness To AnimalsDifferent VoicesDifferent AnimalsAnimal SufferingAnimal IntelligenceNatural Intelligence Author:Voltaire
