„Sono molto rari i libri destinati a cambiare il nostro modo di pensare. Questo libro di Tom Regan è uno di quelli. Gabbie vuote è convincente perché argomenta in modo logico e razionale e perché scritto in uno stile semplice ed elegante allo stesso tempo.“

„Certamente non siamo gli unici animali che vivono l'esperienza del dolore e della sofferenza. In altre parole, non c'è una linea netta tra l'animale uomo e il resto del regno animale. È una linea indistinta e lo sarà sempre... La paura in una scimmia, un cane, un maiale, viene vissuta verosimilmente alla stessa maniera della specie umana. Giovani animali, umani o di altre specie, mostrano, difatti, comportamenti simili quando sono ben nutriti e sicuri – sono vivaci, saltellano, fanno piroette, rimbalzano, fanno capriole – tanto che è difficile non credere che non provino sentimenti molto simili. Essi sono, in altre parole, pieni di gioia di vivere – sono felici... un giovane scimpanzè, dopo la morte della sua mamma, mostra un comportamento simile alla depressione che affligge i bambini – postura incurvata, dondolio, occhi offuscati fissi nel vuoto, perdita di interesse per quanto accade attorno a sé. Se un piccolo d'uomo può soffrire di dolore, così può soffrire un giovane scimpanzè...... stare a chiedersi se scimpanzè, elefanti, cani e così via, sperimentino felicità, tristezza, disperazione, rabbia, è uno spreco di tempo – poiché queste cose sono evidenti a chiunque abbia... sperimentato nella sua vita una conoscenza degli animali.“

„In what terms should we think of these beings, nonhuman yet possessing so very many human-like characteristics? How should we treat them? Surely we should treat them with the same consideration and kindness as we show to other humans; and as we recognize human rights, so too should we recognize the rights of the great apes? Yes.“

„Michael Pollan likens consumer choices to pulling single threads out of a garment. We pull a thread from the garment when we refuse to purchase eggs or meat from birds who were raised in confinement, whose beaks were clipped so they could never once taste their natural diet of worms and insects. We pull out a thread when we refuse to bring home a hormone-fattened turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. We pull a thread when we refuse to buy meat or dairy products from cows who were never allowed to chew grass, or breathe fresh air, or feel the warm sun on their backs.
The more threads we pull, the more difficult it is for the industry to stay intact. You demand eggs and meat without hormones, and the industry will have to figure out how it can raise farm animals without them. Let the animals graze outside and it slows production. Eventually the whole thing will have to unravel.
If the factory farm does indeed unravel - and it must - then there is hope that we can, gradually, reverse the environmental damage it has caused. Once the animal feed operations have gone and livestock are once again able to graze, there will be a massive reduction in the agricultural chemicals currently used to grow grain for animals. And eventually, the horrendous contamination caused by animal waste can be cleaned up. None of this will be easy.
The hardest part of returning to a truly healthy environment may be changing the current totally unsustainable heavy-meat-eating culture of increasing numbers of people around the world. But we must try. We must make a start, one by one.“Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating
