Farm Animals, Respect, Jane Goodall

“Farm animals are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right. As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent? Thousands of people who say they ‘love’ animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been treated so with little respect and kindness just to make more meat.” ― Jane Goodall

Person of Color, Identify, Kamala Harris, Respect, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“As a person of color, as a Black woman who is in this position … standing before you, … what you just read out to me is repulsive. … No one has any right to tell someone who they are, how they identify. … Only she can speak to her experience. … It’s insulting for anybody, … and she is the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, and we have to put some respect on her name, period.” - White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, when told by a reporter that former President Donald Trump had just accused Harris of “turn[ing] Black”.
