Dame Jane Goodall on Intelligence and Respect for Farm Animals
“Farm animals are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite Dame Jane Goodallhaving been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right.

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.”
Dame Jane Goodall
