Unfortunately, if there is only contempt and loathing in your hearts there can never be any respect, nor any relevant dialogue, between any parties!!

Zack de la Rocha: "I think vegetarianism is really great, and I stand really strongly behind it...I think that an animal goes through a lot of pain in the whole cycle of death in the slaughterhouse; just living to be killed...I just don't think it's worth eating that animal...There's so much other food out there that doesn't have to involve you in that cycle of pain and death."
