References to "Rights" of Animals in Historical Literature


Thanks to my stars, I can say I have never killed a bird. I would not crush the meanest insect which crawls upon the ground. They have the same right to live that I have, they received it from the same Father, and I will not mar the works of God by wanton cruelty. (39)
