Animal Quote by Bruce Friedrich
“If we really believe that animals have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course weÂ’re going to be, as a movement, blowing things up and smashing windows Â… I think itÂ’s a great way to bring about animal liberation Â… I think it would be great if all of the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow.
