About
Also known as an advocate of animal rights as well as an activist for animal liberation; Trish holds the view that to deny the most basic needs of animals such as the avoidance of pain to non-human animals, on the basis of species membership alone, is a form of discrimination just like to racism or sexism.
The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.
“If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and what you do not know you will fear. What one fears one destroys.” - Chief Dan George
