Edward Freeman1823-1892
The Morality of Field SportsWindham, a patron of everything that called itself "sport'—"sport" of course commonly meaning the death or torture of some creature—said manfully and consistently, "No one who condemns bull-baiting can consistently defend fox hunting."…He drew from it one practical inference; I draw from it another. From the admitted right to torture the fox Windham inferred the right to torture the bull. From the admitted sin of torturing the bull I infer the sin of torturing the fox. I am not going, though I feel strongly on the subject, to preach a sermon on cruelty to animals—a subject, by the way, which those business it is to preach sermons might with advantage deal with oftener than they do.
Scientific FreedomThe physiologist cannot say, as the historian and the geologist can say, that the means by which he gains his knowledge hurts neither man nor beast…In the pursuit of the other studies, there is no inherent danger of moral evil; in the pursuit of physiology, there is. | ||||||||
