Animal Rights Quotes

References to "Rights" of Animals in Historical Literature


[1857] Francis William Newman, "Proverbs: Justice," and "Rights of Animals," in Theism, Doctrinal and Practical; or, Didactic Religious Utterances (London, 1857) 179-82.

Lower animals, as men, have their Rights; and there is a Justice due to them. (Proverbs: Justice)

That all living things have some rights, no one will deny;
For wanton cruelty is universally condemned:
Yet the limits of their rights have been scarcely discussed,
Nor the diverse rights of diverse animals. (Rights of Animals)
