Peta spokeswoman Ashley Byrne
Our compassion does not need to be limited. Teaching people to be kind to animals only helps in terms of encouraging them to be practicing kindness in general. As we become more educated about animals, as people are learning more about how intelligent and sensitive animals are. … I think most people are accepting that the way we treat animals absolutely is a social justice issue.
I don’t always agree with Peta, but I do agree with kindness and compassion.
