Animal Rights Quotes

References to "Rights" of Animals in Historical Literature

[1789] Jeremy Bentham, "Limits between Private Ethics and the Art of Legislation," §-1 Of the Limits of the Penal Branch of Jurisprudence, in An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation (London, 1907).
