Animal Rights
Bailey is outspoken on the subject of animal rights and has lent her likeness to many PETA campaigns. She also once appeared caged in a makeshift battery hen enclosure as part of a campaign for the Human Battery Cage. The rights to sit in the cage with Bailey and Lindsay McDougall (guitarist for Australian punk band Frenzal Rhomb), were auctioned off on eBay by Animal Liberation NSW. Imogen has also just launched a new project, imforanimals.com, which focuses on drawing attention to the abuse and cruelty towards animals.

Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or rights:
“The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts. These require rich and abundant animal nature, such as they possess; and if ever they become highly civilised, they will excel in music, dancing and elocution.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“... most Southerners of my parents’ era were raised to feel that it wasn’t respectable to be rich. We felt that all patriotic Southerners had lost everything in defense of the South, and sufficient time hadn’t elapsed for respectable rebuilding of financial security in a war- impoverished region.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 1 (1962)
