Animal Rights Quotes

References to "Rights" of Animals in Historical Literature


Source Documents [1792] Herman Daggett, Rights of Animals, Delivered at the Commencement of Providence-College, September 7, 1791 (New York, 1792).

If we judge impartially, we shall acknowledge that there are the RIGHTS of a BEAST, as well as the RIGHTS of a MAN. And because man is considered as the Lord of this lower creation, he is not thereby licensed to infringe on the rights of those below him, any more than a King, or Magistrate, is licensed to infringe on the rights of his subjects.
