Drew Barrymore Quotes

Would I rather the research lab that tests animals is reduced to a bunch of cinders? Yes.

I wish we all would get up and go into the labs and take the animals out or burn them down.

We have to be aggressive when those we stick up for have no voice. I don't consider it radical to say cruelty is wrong and that animals should be respected.

I will be the last person to condemn ALF [the Animal Liberation Front].

Because I'm a civil rights activist, I am also an animal rights activist. Animals and humans suffer and die alike. Violence causes the same pain, the same spilling of blood, the same stench of death, the same arrogant, cruel and vicious taking of life. We shouldn't be a part of it.
