"I believe that mink are raised to be turned into fur coats and if we didn't wear fur coats those little animals would never have been born. So is it better not to have been born or to have been turned into a fur coat?"

"We've started picketing outside the homes of the [department store] executives because these minks on these fur farms never get a chance to go home and relax. Those executives do not deserve a break. They do not deserve to go home and rest."
J.P. Goodwin, executive director of the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade, addressing the World Congress for Animals, Washington, D.C., 21/6/96.
