"Billions of animals are subjected to cruelty at the hands of human beings every year, and people are often ignorant and disconnected from how their acts cause animals to suffer.  Thankfully, SPEAK is working to change this by instilling concern and compassion in place of apathy and ignorance."
Gene Bauston Farm Sanctuary

	"This organization is a leader within the animal advocacy movement with a strong capacity to unite individuals and groups on behalf of animals."
	Karen Davis, Ph.D. United Poultry Concerns, Founder & President

"I'm grateful that SPEAK uses its collective voice to educate communities about animal exploitation and suffering.  If we hope to transform this world into a better place for animals, we need to SPEAK out against cruelty and SPEAK up for the rights of all creatures."
Chris DeRose President Last Chance for Animals

	"Without doubt SPEAK is the voice of all animals. I hope we learn from both of them in the new century."
	Howard F. Lyman Author of Mad Cowboy

"SPEAK gives animals a voice-- not just one voice but many strong ones. If you want to make a statement for animals in your community, get a SPEAKer and rouse 'em to action."
Jim Mason Author of Unnatural Order and founder of Animals' Agenda Magazine

	"SPEAK gives the animals a voice and gives people a clear idea of how to turn good intentions into actions that count.  I hope everyone with a heart joins them and builds them into a bigger and bigger force for positive change."
	Ingrid Newkirk President PETA

"SPEAK speaks for the animals without blurring the message. The basic question is not what humans gain or lose by eating animals, using them in research, or watching them perform 'tricks'. The basic question is what is done to them, the animals. Whereas so many other groups have gotten caught-up in collateral issues (for example, health and environmental issues), SPEAK has not taken the focus off the real issue: that what we are doing to animals is wrong and must be stopped, completely. I urge you to support SPEAK's pioneering efforts."
