Jane Goodall frasi celebri

“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.”

“Mi avvicinavo sempre di più agli animali, alla natura, e di conseguenza a me stessa. Ero in sintonia con quella grande forza spirituale che mi circondava.”

Jane Goodall

“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 scimpanzé, 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 scimpanzé…
…stare a chiedersi se scimpanzé, 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.”

“Le iene, diversamente dalla gran parte degli altri carnivori, nascono in uno stadio di sviluppo avanzato, hanno gli occhi aperti, molti denti già erotti, sono sorprendentemente vivaci e in grado di spostarsi sulle zampe anteriori.”

Jane Goodall

Origine: Assassini innocenti, p. 156

“Non ci volle molto per convincermi che le iene sono seconde solo agli scimpanzè quanto a fascino, perché sono dei pagliacci nati, assolutamente individualiste e vivono in una società ben ordinata ed estremamente complessa.”

“As I traveled, talking about these issues, I met so many young people who had lost hope. Some were depressed; some were apathetic; some were angry and violent. And when I talked to them, they all more or less felt this way because we had compromised their future and the world of tomorrow was not going to sustain their great-grandchildren.”

“How would I have turned out, I sometimes wonder, had I grown up in a house that stifled enterprise by imposing harsh and senseless discipline? Or in an atmosphere of overindulgence, in a household where there were no rules, no boundaries drawn? My mother certainly understood the importance of discipline, but she always explained why some things were not allowed. Above all, she tried to be fair and to be consistent.”

“They communicate, but their communication system is through touch, posture, looks – body language you could call it, but it goes a bit deeper than that. They can learn 400 or more signs in American sign language.”

“But let us not forget that human love and compassion are equally deeply rooted in our primate heritage, and in this sphere too our sensibilities are of a higher order of magnitude than those of chimpanzees.”

Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe (2000), p. 215

“At the moment, money from Gombe tourism goes into one pot for Tanzania National Parks and it has to pay for the whole infrastructure of everything. But through our TACARE [community development] programme, we’ve benefited local people hugely.
The thing is about tourism and research is that they can both focus attention on the place and help to preserve it. It’s tourism involvement with the mountain gorillas that saved them.
During the genocide in Rwanda in the 1990s, people on both sides were being told, “Don’t touch the gorillas”, as it was the second biggest foreign exchange earner after tea in the country. So both sides hoped to win and continue exploiting gorillas.
So the government can see the value of tourism, but the danger is they over-exploit it. They say, “We’re getting all this money for [gorilla-tracking groups of] six people, now we’ll let it be 12”, and they get more money for tours, so they make it 20. That’s the danger; that they end up killing what people have come to see.”

“But if the same tests, the same foods are examined by an independent scientist, then it turns out that in almost every case there are quite serious harms done to the rats, the mice or the other poor unfortunate animals, particularly internal organs like liver and kidneys and things of that sort.”

Jane Goodall Godall Says Animals Suffer From Genetically Modified Foods http://www.marketwatch.com/story/goodall-says-animals-suffer-from-genetically-modified-foods-2015-04-28?siteid=yhoof2 (2015-04-28)

“This very real difference between GM plants and their conventional counterparts is one of the basic truths that biotech proponents have endeavoured to obscure. As part of the process, they portrayed the various concerns as merely the ignorant opinions of misinformed individuals – and derided them as not only unscientific, but anti-science.
They then set to work to convince the public and government officials, through the dissemination of false information, that there was an overwhelming expert consensus, based on solid evidence, that the new foods were safe. Yet this, as Druker points out, was clearly not true.
Druker describes how amazingly successful the biotech lobby has been – and the extent to which the general public and government decision makers have been hoodwinked by the clever and methodical twisting of the facts and the propagation of many myths. Moreover, it appears that a number of respected scientific institutions, as well as many eminent scientists, were complicit in this relentless spreading of disinformation.”

Referring to chimpanzees, reported in Jane Goodall: Primatologist and Animal Activist (2009) by Connie Jankowski, p. 13

“Louis deliberately chose someone who hadn’t been to university because theories of animal behaviour at that time were very rigid, and Louis didn’t want someone whose mind was biased in that way. Wise man. But still I had the responsibility to prove myself. I remember looking up at the hills and wondering, “Can I do it?””

“Just remember — if you are really and truly determined to work with animals, somehow, either now or later, you will find a way to do it. But you have to want it desperately, work hard, take advantage of an opportunity — and never give up.”

My Life with the Chimpanzees (1996), p. 113

“I do not want to discuss evolution in such depth, however, only touch on it from my own perspective: from the moment when I stood on the Serengeti plains holding the fossilized bones of ancient creatures in my hands to the moment when, staring into the eyes of a chimpanzee, I saw a thinking, reasoning personality looking back. You may not believe in evolution, and that is all right. How we humans came to be the way we are is far less important than how we should act now to get out of the mess we have made for ourselves.”

“The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding complex social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man — whether this be in entertainment, as "pets," for food, in research laboratories, or any of the other uses to which we subject them.”
