Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Penn: You want passion and truth? Okay. Teller and I would personally kill EVERY chimp in the world, with our bare hands, to save ONE street junkie...with AIDS. Edit
- Penn: Let's be clear. PETA boss and guru Ingrid Newkirk is having animals put to death. PETA kills animals while attacking people who kill animals. Teller, get the dictionary, is there an entry for F**KING BIG A** hypocrite? Edit
- Yourofsky: First of all, we have to understand that animal research is unscientific. And animal-derived data can never be made relevant to another species. Guidotti: Without animal research, we have no biomedical science. Not only do we have no biomedical science, we have no public health. Edit
