"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men."

I really like your blog and your children are beautiful.
We have two little cutie pies as well.
Yes yes yes! Beautiful quote, thanks for sharing it.
This is one of my very favourite quotes - thank you!
My favorite quote!! Wish everyone else believed that...
I actually bought a tshirt with this quote on it and stopped wearing when I discovered that she is an unfettered omnivore, not even lacto-ovo vegetarian
Tim, I actually knew that when I posted this quote. It's unfortunate that Walker isn't able to live up to her own ideals, but I think the sentiment still stands. Ghandi and MLK weren't vegan either, but I think many of their quotes can be useful when talking about veganism as nonviolence and a social justice issue.
