Gary Lawrence Francione Quotes
Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.

Francione is known for his work on animal rights theory, and was the first academic to teach it in an American law school.
