"We have a couple of dogs, but I wouldn't describe myself as an animal person"
- Pamela Stephenson
About this Quote
Pamela Stephenson's quote suggests that she is not particularly enthusiastic regarding animals, in spite of having a number of canines. She is likely implying that she does not have a solid psychological link to pets, and that she does not prioritize them in her life. This could be as a result of a range of reasons, such as not having grown up around animals, or merely not having a strong fondness for them. It is possible that she still enjoys and cares for her canines, however that she does not have a strong link to animals in general. Her quote could likewise be interpreted as her not wanting to be classified as an "animal individual," which could be because of her not intending to be associated with certain stereotypes or undertones that include the label.
"Often and often afterwards, the beloved Aunt would ask me why I had never told anyone how I was being treated. Children tell little more than animals, for what comes to them they accept as eternally established"
"Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case"
