References to "Rights" of Animals in Historical Literature


It has been well known for some time in certain circles that a movement was on foot for the emancipation of the brute creatures (so called) from the thralldom of man.…All the beasts were unanimous for freedom. …Delegations had arrived from every country in the world. A select body was in attendance from the Zoological Gardens headed by a fine Bull…discussing the Rights of Brutes. (145-147).

Resolved, That it is our right, as it is our duty, to shake off the galling yoke of the human races, and to assert our paramount claims to the exclusive enjoyment of the earth; to resume our freedom in the forests, or the plains, or the swamps, as we please, and to lead the life which is best suited to our instincts. (154)
