John Norris (born March 20, 1959) is an American music journalist, known as a reporter and special correspondent for MTV News and the MTV Radio Network. Quotes I don't think that animal rights is a political issue, as far as I'm concerned it's a humanist issue, it's an anticruelty issue… In every way, the older I get, I try to conduct my life in a way that inflicts as little pain, as little cruelty and as much kindness on anyone, and when I say anyone that means humans and nonhumans as possible. “John Norris' PSA,” video for Peta2TV at Home Nightclub in NYC (20 May 2008). I don't eat or wear animals and I have a pretty simple reason; because they are animals. They have lives, they feel pain, and I don't think they should give those lives nor feel pain for humans. As humans, we have the ability to understand that not only do we not need to eat meat; in fact we can live healthier lives without it. “John Norris: Vegetarian Testimonial,” video ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (26 August 2011).
