Animal Rights Quotes » William Hamilton DrummondReferences to "Rights" of Animals in Historical LiteratureAnimals are as delicately constituted and as sensible to pain as themselves—that all of them, as well as man, have their rights, which it is both unjust and cruel to violate or infringe. (Rights of Animals, An Introduction) Considering them as creatures of God, formed by the same Almighty hand that forms ourselves, and though subject to man's dominion, still retaining their peculiar rights. (Benefits Derived from Animals, Docility, Obedience, Affection for Man, an Argument for Treating them with Humanity) To injure and destroy animals for obeying the instincts of their nature, is not only a violation of their rights, and a demonstration of ignorance and barbarism, but an act of rebellion against God. (Causes of Cruelty—Ignorance and False Pretences) Animals, it must be reiterated again and again, have their rights—rights chartered to them by their Creator, and not to be violated with impunity. (Cruelty to Animals Admits of No Defence) | ||||||||
