Animal Rights Quotes » Johann David MichaelisReferences to "Rights" of Animals in Historical LiteratureWe shall find that Moses, throughout his laws, manifests even towards animals a spirit of justice and kindness, and inculcates the avoidance not only of actual cruelty, but even of its appearance. A code of civil law does not, indeed, necessarily provide for the rights of animals, because they are not citizens; but still, the way in which animals are treated, so strongly influences the manners and sentiments of a people even towards their fellow-creatures (for he who habitually acts with cruelty and want of feeling to beasts, will soon become cruel and hard-hearted to men), that a legislator will sometimes find it necessary to attend to it, to prevent his people from becoming savage.
