We owe them [animals] a decent life and a decent death, and their lives should be as low-stress as possible. that's my job. i wish animals could have more than just a low-stress life and a quick, painless death. i wish animals could have a good life, too, with something useful to do. people were animals, too, once, and when we turned into human beings we gave something up. being close to animals brings some of it back.

More From Temple Grandin

And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

It is important that our relationship with farm animals is reciprocal. we owe animals a decent life and a painless death. i have observed that the people who are completely out of touch with nature are the most afraid of death.

I do feel like i owe something, but not to the industry. when you say "industry," i think of a group of people who don't really care much about you and treat you as a commodity. so, in that regard, i don't feel like i owe anything. but the people who've always been supportive of me and have always seen me for my greatest potential-those are the people who i feel like i owe something to. i feel like i am their voice. i owe it them to represent them in a way that they can be proud of.

I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. we've got to give those animals a decent life, and we've got to give them a painless death. we owe the animal respect.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you

Song Sweet Morning
Life at best is bittersweet.
Life Inspire Bittersweet
It was the sick and decaying who despised the body and earth and invented the heavenly realm and the redemptive drops of blood: but they took even these sweet and gloomy poisons from body and earth. they wanted to escape their own misery, and the stars were too far for them.

I would ban sweets from school - but this pressure to bring in healthy food is too much.
