I am not basically a conservationist. When the last great whale is slaughtered, as it surely will be, the whales' suffering will be over. This is not the whales' loss, but man's. I am not concerned about the wiping out of a species - this is man's folly - I have only one concern, the suffering which we deliberately inflict upon animals whilst they live.
--Clive Hollands (1929- )

An individual animal doesn't care if its species is facing extinction - it cares if it is feeling pain.
--Ronnie Lee (1951- )
