About this Quote

This quote by Alice Walker is an effective declaration about the worth of all living animals and the value of appreciating their autonomy. It speaks to the idea that animals, like people, have their own factors for existing and must not be dealt with as mere tools for human usage. Walker is also making a contrast between the injustice of particular human groups and the mistreatment of animals, recommending that both are wrong and must be stopped. This quote is a suggestion that all living creatures deserve regard and ought to be treated with dignity. It is a call to action for us to acknowledge the worth of all life and to deal with animals with the exact same regard and compassion that we would show to any other living being.
