Animals, especially in their natural living conditions, are witty and know all kinds of things. By taming them, humiliating them, we corrupt their hearts and minds. What would a person think if they were condemned to the kind of life we force dogs and horses to live, not to mention the animals in the poultry yard.
""Az állatok, főként természetes életkörülményeik közt szellemesek és mindenfélét tudnak. Azzal, hogy megszeliditjük őket, megalázzuk, megrontjuk a szivüket és az eszüket. Mi lenne az ember eszéből, ha olyan életre volna kárhoztatva, amilyenre mi a kutyákat, lovakat kényszeritjük, nem is szólva a baromfiudvar állatairól."
