Laurel Braitman

“But a tally of years lived and calorically balanced meals eaten doesn’t account for quality of life or the pleasure that can come from making one’s own decisions. It doesn’t even account for the kind of suffering that isn’t lethal but nonetheless may make an animal unhappy and drive him to gnaw on his toes or swim in endless circles. Just because an animal is born into a certain world doesn’t mean that she can’t have an opinion about it.”
