'What we're talking about here is sentience, consciousness in a very basic sense that doesn't require a lot of the very sophisticated capacities that humans have, so it doesn't require the capacity to have a kind of inner monologue in which you have a conscious train of thought. Crab very probably doesn't have that, crabs are not thinking to themselves as they scuttle along on the beach. The question is whether there's any feeling there, any subjective feeling, and of particular ethical relevance and particular legal relevance is the question of whether there's any pain or pleasure.'
