If you're buying animal products and can go to the farm and actually see how the animals are looked after, yes, that's an important point. That's definitely the best way of assuring yourself that the animals are being well treated.

How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.

I run everywhere and eavesdrop. It's the best way to see a city.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

I have never really been fond of animals. I certainly wasn't an 'animal lover' when I became involved in the movement. I just came to be persuaded that animals should be treated as independent sentient beings, not as means to human ends.

The best way to change it is to do it. Right? And then after a while you become it, and it's easy.
