Kindness. The only possible method when dealing with a living creature. You'll get nowhere with an animal if you use terror, no matter what its level of development may be.

I'm not a vegetarian. Now, don't get me wrong - I like animals. And I don't think it's just fine to industrialize their production and to churn them out like they were wrenches.

Let's get the numbers of animals we're killing for eating down, and then we'll worry about being nice to the ones that are left.

Martha Beck
