Quotes It seems faintly apparent that any large Ungulate hoofed animal can be dangerous and should be approached with caution; this applies most particularly to Rut (mammalian reproduction) males in the autumn when mating pressures predispose them to fighting.

I believe animals have the right not to have pain, fear or physical deprivation inflicted upon them by us. Even if they are on the way to the slaughterhouse, animals have the right to food and water and shelter if it is needed. They have the right not to be brutalized in any way as food resources, for entertainment or any other purpose. … Finding a substitute for animals in research has only recently become an imperative in the scientific community. … One day animals will not be used in the laboratory. How soon that day comes depends on how soon people stop screaming and make the search for alternatives a major research imperative.
