20 Quotes by Jerry Vlasak

I think that violence and nonviolence are not moral principles, they’re tactics.

You can justify, from a political standpoint, any type of violence you want to use.

I am personally not advocating violence. I am simply saying that it is a morally acceptable tactic and it may be useful in the struggle for animal liberation. I don’t know.

As far as the underground liberation movement, it won’t have any impact at all because they don’t really care about those laws. Their activities – sabotaging, liberating animals – are already illegal so just adding one more law won’t make much difference.

Lastly, anyone who believes in the possibility of total animal liberation while billions of humans continue to inhabit and decimate the planet is delusional. Only when most humans have died off will there be a chance to returning to a society that values all beings for who they are.

The University of California has been selected as the poster child of animal abuse at laboratories. It’s been shown that the tactics are more effective if you just hit one person over and over and get them to quit what they’re doing.

Whatever it takes to stop someone from abusing animals is certainly morally acceptable.

Nothing is more violent and radical than what’s being done to non-human animals in our society. If a researcher won’t stop abusing animals and is stopped physically, whether with the use of force, or is killed, I certainly wouldn’t lose sleep over that idea.

If someone is killing, on a regular basis, thousands of animals, and if that person can only be stopped in one way by the use of violence, then it is certainly a morally justifiable solution.
