References to "Rights" of Animals in Historical Literature


Your petitioners are fully aware that any regulation, which might be established for preserving the rights of animals, and for remedying those grievances of which they complain, might and would be egregiously abused by the lower officers of police or others, who should be appointed to enforce it; but this being a common and a necessary evil, it must be submitted to, and your petitioners would still derive a melancholy consolation, from beholding their present unfeeling task-masters fined, pounded, beaten, and oppressed, after the manner in which they are accustomed to beat, torture, and distress your indignant petitioners.
