"Our humanity isn't measured by how we treat other people, our humanity is measured by how we treat animals. In a world where human rights are greater than at any time in history...in a world where the overall standard of living is at a peak...in a culture where each person is held responsible for their life---here, animals are fast becoming the last real victims. The only slaves and prey. Animals are how we define humans. Without animals, there would be no humanity. In a world of just people, people would mean nothing...In the future world, the world outside here, the only animals will be the ones in zoos and movies. Anything not human will just be a flavour for dinner: chicken, beef, pork, lamb, or fish. Without animals, there will be humans, but no humanity." (Palahniuk 290)
