“I hope SeaWorld is exploring how, like Ringling, it can get out of the wild animal business.”

“Every animal has his or her story, his or her thoughts, daydreams, and interests. All feel joy and love, pain and fear, as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.”

“I don't have the luxury of having a dog myself because I travel too much, but I love walking and cuddling somebody else's dog.”
