Rev. Wilfrid Lescher
Victorian Age
Why I Oppose VivisectionRev. Wilfrid Lescher in "Why I Oppose Vivisection," argues that since It is strange that in all the discussions our opponents call animals anything but what they are. They are 'mere things'; they are 'not men,' 'not Christians,' etc. But what are they? They are animals. An animal is not a thing, meaning wood or a plant. It is a conscious living being. It has a distinct place of its own marked out by the great Creator's hand. In English law animals have legal rights corresponding to a reality embraced by every sound mind. They have rights therefore—animal rights. | ||||||||
