Thomas Moore
The Sin and Folly of Cruelty to Brute Animals1810-Apr| review of "The Sin and Folly of Cruelty to Brute Animals; a Sermon, by Thomas Moore (London, 1810)," Critical Review 19 (1810-Apr), 433-4. We wish that christian ministers would more often preach on this subject, and never let the year pass without delivering at least one sermon on the sin of cruelty to that part of the sensitive creation who want language to make known their wrongs. A great senator seems to think that cruelty to the brutes produces courage, and renders the character robust; but we believe it will be found that this species of cruelty is always accompainied by cowardice.…It may be reagarded as a general truth, liable to very few exceptions, that cruelty makes men cowards; and that men are alwys brave in proportion as they are humane. Let the advocates for bull-baiting and cock-fighting remember this. | ||||||||
