David Attenborough on animals

We must change our diet. The planet can’t support billions of meat-eaters.

I’m not an animal lover if that means you think things are nice if you can pet them, but I am intoxicated by animals.

This is now our planet, run by humankind for humankind. There is little left for the rest of the living world.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey.

Man [has] always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reason.
