「1839」William Youatt, The Obligation and Extent of Humanity to Brutes, Principally Considered with Reference to the Domesticated Animals「Google Books」(London, 1839).
The claims of the lower animals to humane treatment, or, at least, to exemption from abuse, are as good as any that man can urge upon man. Although less intelligent, and not immortal, they are susceptible of pain; but because they cannot remonstrate, nor associate with their fellows in defence of their rights, our best theologians and philosophers have not condescended to plead their cause, or even to make mention of them; although, as just asserted, they has a much right to protection from ill usage as the best of their masters have.
