Animal Rights Quotes » Clergyman of the Church of EnglandReferences to "Rights" of Animals in Historical LiteratureThe wise man calls upon us to 'open our mouths' [for] the 'dumb,'…the unhappy victims of…lawless cruelty and oppression; wretches, who have no kind advocate to plead in behalf of their invaded rights; no helping hand to procure for them redress from their furious assailants; no friend to truth, ready, or willing, to expose the cunning devices wherewith they have been entrapped.—Well may they be called "dumb," since their tongues can be of no avail to them, when silenced by the imperiousness of wealth, the dread of irritating, by a vain appeal to justice, those under whose hands they have already groaned, to still further acts of violence, and their utter inability to baffle the false gloss with which the vile schemes of their adversaries have deluded them. | ||||||||
