Thomas Bewick1753-1828
History of QuadrupedsThe Black-HorseThe docked tail, offensive both to humanity and decency, is rarely to be seen: Propriety and good sense have at length prevailed over a custom replete with absurdity; and our Horses are permitted to retain a member both useful and ornamental. But we have still to regret, that the cruel practice of forming the tail, by cutting and nicking it on the under side, is yet continued. The AssThe services of this useful creature are too often repaid by hard fare and cruel usage. The Brown BearThe excessive cruelties practised upon this poor animal, in teaching it to walk erect, and regulate its motions to the sound of the flagelet, are such as make sensibility shudder. Its eyes are put out, and an iron ring being put through the cartilage of the nose to lead it by, it is kept from food, and beaten, till it yield obedience to the will of its savage tutors. Some of them are taught to perform by setting their feet upon hot iron plates, and then playing to them whilst in this uneasy situation. It is truly shocking to every feeling mind to reflect, that such cruelties should be exercised upon any part of the brute creation by our fellow-men. That they should be rewarded by numbers of unthinking people, who crowd around them to see the animal's rude attempts to imitate human actions, is not to be wondered at: But it is much to be wished, that the timely interference of the magistrate would prevent every exhibition of this kind, that, in England a least, we might not be reproached with tolerating practices so disgraceful to humanity. The Dalmatian, or Coach DogWe do not, however, admire the cruel practice of depriving the poor animal of its ears, in order to increase its beauty. | ||||||||
