Quotes
- “The animal liberation movement is fighting what is arguably the most entrenched and widespread form of exploitation in human history: speciesism.”
- “Often, vegan advocates assume that a person's defensiveness is the result of selfishness or apathy, when in fact it is much more likely the result of systematic and intensive social conditioning.”
- “We love dogs and eat cows not because dogs and cows are fundamentally different—cows, like dogs, have feelings, preferences, and consciousness—but because our perception of them is different.”
- “Carnism is the belief system in which eating certain animals is considered ethical and appropriate. Carnists—people who eat meat—are not the same as carnivores. Carnivores are animals that are dependent on meat to survive. … Carnists eat meat not because they need to, but because they choose to, and choices always stem from beliefs. Carnism's invisibility accounts for why choices appear not to be choices at all.”
- “There is a vast mythology surrounding meat, but all the myths are in one way or another related to what I refer to as the Three Ns of Justification: eating meat is normal, natural, and necessary. The Three Ns have been invoked to justify all exploitative systems … When an ideology is in its prime, these myths rarely come under scrutiny. However, when the system finally collapses, the Three Ns are recognized as ludicrous.”
- “Think about it: virtually every atrocity in the history of humankind was enabled by a populace that turned away from a reality that seemed too painful to face, while virtually every revolution for peace and justice has been made possible by a group of people who chose to bear witness and demanded that others bear witness as well.”

melaniejoy.org →“Melanie Joy's work has the potential to revolutionize how we think—and, therefore, to transform how we treat each other, animals, the environment, and ourselves.” Melanie Joy, PhD , is a Harvard-educated psychologist specializing in relationships, communication, and social transformation. She is the award-winning author of eight books, including the bestselling Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows , Getting Relationships Right: How to Build Resilience and Thrive in Life, Love, and Work , How to End Injustice Everywhere , and A Half-Hearted Death Wish . Joy is also an internationally recognized speaker and trainer who’s presented her work in fifty countries across six continents. Joy is best known for her groundbreaking theories on the psychology of violence and nonviolence and building healthy relationships. Her analyses have helped explain why people engage in “nonrelational” behaviors—behaviors that harm other people, animals, the planet, and themselves—as well as how to change this pattern. Her work has been featured by media outlets around the world, including the New York Times , BBC, NPR, and ABC Australia. She is the eighth recipient of the Ahimsa Award—previously given to the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela—for her work on global nonviolence; and she also received both the Peter Singer Prize and the Empty Cages Prize for her work developing strategies to reduce the suffering of animals. Joy’s mission is to help create a more relational world, in large part through raising awareness of the obstacles preventing people from interacting in ways that create a sense of mutual connection. These obstacles are both internal (psychological) and external (social), and they are a key reason why we act against our own interests and the interests of others—often without realizing that we’re doing so. With awareness, we are better able to think freely and act compassionately, to create healthier and more fulfilling relationships and a more equitable and sustainable world. Joy is the founding president of the international organization, Beyond Carnism . Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Joy now resides in Berlin, Germany, with her husband, Sebastian Joy.
