 Animal Rights 2004" convention

  Jerry Vlasak  of the Animal Defense League Los Angeles. It won't ruin our movement if someone gets killed in an animal  rights action. It's going to happen sooner or later. The Animal Liberation  Front, the Earth Liberation Front -- sooner or later there's going to be someone  getting hurt. And we have to accept that fact. It's going to happen. It's not  going to hurt our movement. Our movement will go on. And it's important that we  not let the bully pulpit of the FBI and the other oppression agencies stop us  from what we're doing. They are the violent ones. They are the terrorists  ... we have to keep doing what we're doing.

I don’t appreciate you and your corpse-munching, runny menstrual tumor-feed slurping, bovine pus, blood and hormone-chugging ways, you selfish insignificant little bullies. And if you corpse munchers refuse to go vegan, then you should dig a six-foot hole in the ground, crawl inside—like the sub-human, low-life, brain-dead life-forms you are—so you can put us all out of your misery. Choke on a chicken bone and die. -Dave Warwak

I would love to have a bobcat in my backyard. I would leave him big bowls of tofu and other vegan goodies – we would eventually become
 friends. -David Warwak

If I have to choose between protecting a child in relative comfort and protecting the animal in absolute discomfort, then, in every case, I’m going to protect the animal. -Dr. Steve Best

If that means going onto their farms, releasing their animals and burning the place to the ground, that’s morally justifiable. -Dr. Jerry Vlasak

I haven't laughed like that for awhile.      These quotes maybe old but boy are they funny.  Its almost as good as when ex-pres. Bush comes out with his spoofs. 
 
I love the one about the person who put the value of life of their child on equal terms as an ant.

Objectively speaking of course, what's gold to copper?

[Dallizzle D. of the PS Ancients]

In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive.

And in the real world animals are nothing more than a population statistic; forced to live in dangerous conditions, constantly trying to survive, always on the run from predators, wallowing in their own fith and living with disease and overpopulation. The daily goal of a wild animal is not to die. Dogs and Cats are the lucky ones who were accepted into human society, and due to around 15 thousand years of domestication have adopted our enviroment as their home. Even a stray has a better chance of survival in a city than it does in the wild.
 
Not to mention the fact that we pamper pets. There's always food, they're never under any threat of predators, they live lives of constant comfort and luxury, they're properly medicated so they don't succumb to disease, and spayed/neutered to prevent [too much] overpopulation. The fact that we took animals into our society and allowed them to live with us is a good thing, for both the humans and the animals. We gain emotional benefits and the pleasure of caring for something, and the animal gains a fantastic, comfortable life.
 
I know this thread is old, I know this quote is old, but I've never really had a chance to respond to it and I spent a while thinking about ARA's and pets the other day.
