References to "Rights" of Animals in Historical Literature


The public mind had been much occupied by the discussion of the rights of man, in which much progress had been made, whilst not the smallest attention has been given to the rights of other animals. It has been said that human liberty consists in one man doing whatever does not injure another man; and it is affirmed that one man has a right to do whatsoever does not injure another man. Were man the only being in this system capable of happiness and misery, this would not only be the truth, but the whole truth; but as there are innumerable beings, besides man in the system, to which we belong, capable of pleasure and pain, these beings must have rights, and those rights must limit the liberty and rights of man. If it be true that one man has not a right to injure another it is also true that man had not right to wantonly to injure or torment any other animal.
