Newkirk is clear on her, and PETA's, mandate: the eradication of all domestic and companion animals.

To be clear: the suffering we inflict on the animals we create is beyond evil. I agree with her. We as a species have failed to protect billions of sentient beings from horrific, prolonged, and indescribable pain. Human beings do not require meat and dairy to survive and thrive. Our consumption of these animal products is based solely on desire and craving. We have decided that our cravings justify the torture, abuse, cruelty and slaughter of billions and billions of these animals. It is beyond fucked up.

Next time you chow down on that juicy steak I hope you get a twinge of the reality that animal went through so you could fill your gut.
