“Sometimes breaking the law, and sometimes pushing the boundaries of what’s told to us is … what is right and wrong, doesn’t matter. And it comes down to questioning what is effective and what is not effective.” — “Animal Rights 2002” convention, Jun 2002 “Why should any one of us feel that ‘it shouldn’t be me taking that brick and chucking it through that window? Why shouldn’t I be going to that fur farm down the road and opening up those cages?’ It’s not hard; it doesn’t take a rocket scientist. You don’t need a 4-year degree to call in a bomb hoax. These are easy things, and they’re things that save animals: And so I want all of you in this room to, A) Question not just what is right and wrong, but what is effective, And B) why can’t all of us be doing it? — “Animal Rights 2002” convention, Jun 2002 “We're a new breed of activism. We're not your parents' Humane Society. We're not Friends of Animals. We're not EarthSave. We're not Greenpeace. We come with a new philosophy. We hold the radical line. We will not compromise! We will not apologize, and we will not relent! ... Vivisection is not an abstract concept. It's a deed, done by individuals, who have weaknesses, who have breaking points, and who have home addresses!” — SHAC rally, East Millstone, New Jersey, outside a medical research facility, Dec 2002 “Today’s terrorist is tomorrow’s freedom fighter.” — SHAC leader Kevin Kjonaas, at the Animal Rights 2002 convention “Today’s terrorist is tomorrow’s freedom fighter.” — “Animal Rights 2002” convention, Jun 2002 |
