Of Animals: A Lecture (1875) is a book that explores the idea that animals have rights and should be treated with respect and compassion. The author, Claims, argues that animals are not mere objects for humans to use as they please, but rather sentient beings that have the ability to feel pain and suffer. The book discusses the ethical implications of using animals for food, clothing, and experimentation, and suggests that humans have a moral obligation to treat animals with kindness and consideration. The lecture is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between humans and animals, and challenges readers to reconsider their attitudes towards the treatment of animals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
