Notable quotes

“The suffering that animals undergo while being caught and eaten may be intense and the process by which they are killed may last for a quarter of an hour or more. Because the number of predators worldwide is enormous, and because, like us, many of them must eat with considerable frequency, the aggregate amount of suffering in the world at any time that is caused by predation is unimaginably vast.”
— Jeff McMahan in: "The Moral problem of Predation" (2014), p. 10
“Viewed from a distance, the natural world often presents a vista of sublime, majestic placidity. Yet beneath the foliage and hidden from the distant eye, a vast, unceasing slaughter rages. Wherever there is animal life, predators are stalking, chasing, capturing, killing, and devouring their prey. Agonized suffering and violent death are ubiquitous and continuous.”
— Jeff McMahan in: "The Meat Eaters", The New York Times, 19 Sept. 2010
“The principle of natural selection is not obviously a humanitarian principle; the predator-prey relation does not depend on moral empathy. Nature ruthlessly limits animal populations by doing violence to virtually every individual before it reaches maturity; these conditions respect animal equality only in the darkest sense.”
— Mark Sagoff in: "Animal Liberation and Environmental Ethics: Bad Marriage, Quick Divorce", (1984), Osgoode Hall Law Journal, Vol. 22, Iss. 2 (1984), p. 299
“One simple test of the claim that the pleasure in the world outweighs the pain [...] is to compare the feelings of an animal that is devouring another with those of the animal being devoured.”
— Arthur Schopenhauer in: Essays and Aphorisms (1970), p. 42
“And even for the survivors, life involves a constant struggle to find enough food, avoid predators, and overcome sickness and injury for a few brief years (or months) before death comes at the jaws of a predator or the grip of a parasite. Pain is a powerful motivational tool, and evolution has no qualms about using it to maximum effect.”
— Brian Tomasik in: "Should We Intervene in Nature?", Essays on Reducing Suffering (Fall 2009)
