Chavez, a vegan, did not limit his cause for compassion and justice to humans. As he put it:
"We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to make all people understand that animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves. And that’s the basis for peace. The basis for peace is respecting all creatures. . . . We cannot hope to have peace until we respect everyone-respect ourselves and respect animals and all living things. . . . " - Cesar Chavez
