Rev. Richard Amner1737-1803 c1783 | The Rev. Richard Amner, (my beloved tutor) fifty years ago, regularly preached a sermon to the youth of his congregation against cruelty to animals on the Sunday preceding Shrove Tuesday (a day particularly set apart for the horrid practice of cock-fighting.) And in those sermons he pointed out the different species of cruelty youth were prone to indulge in; such as twirling cockchafers on a pin, pulling the legs and wings from flies, killing butterflies, pelting and bruising frogs, &c., in addition to what are called the more manly sports, such as bull-baiting, cock-fighting, dog-fighting, and the tying a poor harmless cock to a stake, and then throwing at him with sticks, till his legs were broken, or the creature killed! And there are numbers now living, whom I well know, who bear testimony to the good effects of those practical sermons.1 1 Abraham Smith, A Scriptural and Moral Catechism, Designed to Inculcate the Love and Practice of Mercy, and to Expose the Exceeding Sinfulness of Cruelty to the Dumb Creation : To Which is Added an Address to the Ministers, Parents and Instructors of Youth and Christians in General [1st ed.
