Results from Classic Quotes:

The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding complex social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man -- whether this be in entertainment, as "pets," for food, in research laboratories, or any of the other uses to which we subject them.: Jane Goodall (1934 - )
Anyone who tries to improve the lives of animals invariably comes in for criticism from those who believe such efforts are misplaced in a world of suffering humanity.: Jane Goodall (1934 - )

The true trophy hunter is a self-disciplined perfectionist seeking a single animal, the ancient patriarch well past his prime that is often an outcast from his own kind... If successful, he will enshrine the trophy in a place of honor. This is a more noble and fitting end than dying on some lost and lonely ledge where the scavengers will pick his bones, and his magnificent horns will weather away and be lost forever.: Elgin Gates, Trophy Hunter in Asia

Whenever I see a photograph of some sportsman grinning over his kill, I am always impressed by the striking moral and esthetic superiority of the dead animal to the live one.: Edward Abbey (1927 - 1989), A Voice Crying in the Wilderness

In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen.: Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)
