Cows & Dogs & Cats
"Every
month a truck would come from some slaughterhouse. I had become
friendly with the cows; I knew them as individuals....I first realized
something was ethically wrong with the milk industry - and I was right
in the middle of it. You don’t really know your relationship with an
animal until you’re making your living off of it. But I don’t think it’s
right to exploit animals for money, or for any reason....I want [pets]
to be free of humans. I think we should have a 20-year plan to phase out
breeding [dogs]. Then, after a few centuries, we can move on to cats."
-- Washington Post columnist Colman McCarthy in The Animals’ Agenda, an animal rights magazine. Thanks to Washington Times columnist John Lofton, September 16.
