Thomas Day1748-1789
The History of Sandford and MertonIf little Harry saw a poor wretch who wanted victuals, while he was eating dinner, he was sure to give him half, and sometimes the whole: nay, so very good natured was he to every thing, that he would never go into the fields to take the eggs of poor birds, or their young ones, nor practise any other kind of sport which gave pain to poor animals, who are as capable of feeling as we ourselves, though they have no words to express their sufferings. …he used to say that they had a right to live as well as we, and that it was cruel and unjust to kill creatures only because we did not like them.
The History of Little JackIn respect to the animals entrusted to his care, he not only refrained from using them ill, but was never tired with doing them good offices. | ||||||||
