The principles applied in economic processes are general social principles.
I think that violence and nonviolence are not moral principles, they’re tactics.
If that means going onto their farms, releasing their animals and burning the place to the ground, that's morally justifiable, in our opinion. . . There were always innocent people who got hurt somewhere along the way but it was important that those who oppressed one group of people be stopped, and we don't see the animal liberation struggle being substantially different from these other struggles. . . . A sustained campaign against a particular industry or a particular organization has the potential to be quite effective.
I don’t have any doubt in my mind that there will come a time when we will see violence against animal rights abusers.
The big difference between animal liberation activists and other so-called 'terrorists' is the targets; no innocent victims are ever targeted in animal lib campaigns. If you are not abusing and exploiting animals, there is no need to fear for one's safety.
Fear is an effective factor in altering behavior.
The University of California has been selected as the poster child of animal abuse at laboratories. It's been shown that the tactics are more effective if you just hit one person over and over and get them to quit what they're doing.
Nothing is hopeless; we must hope for everything.
If I die, I will wait for you, do you understand? No matter how long. I will watch from beyond to make sure you live every year you have to its fullest, and then we’ll have so much to talk about when I see you again… (Bones)
That may not be a majority position in my party, but that's down the road. You can't even begin that process until you prove to people - not just pass a law that says you're gonna bring illegal immigration under control. You're gonna have to do it and prove to people that it's working.
I too shall lie in the dust when I am dead, but now let me win noble renown.
