Obligation And Extent Of Humanity To Brutes: Principally Considered With Reference To The Domesticated Animals (1839)

""The Obligation and Extent of Humanity to Brutes: Principally Considered with Reference to the Domesticated Animals"" is a book written by William Youatt in 1839. The book explores the ethical questions surrounding the treatment of animals, particularly those that are domesticated and kept by humans. Youatt argues that humans have a moral obligation to treat animals with kindness and respect, and that this obligation extends to all animals, not just those that are kept as pets or used for work. He examines the ways in which animals are used for human benefit, such as for food, clothing, and entertainment, and questions whether or not these practices are ethical. Youatt also discusses the ways in which animals are trained and cared for, and offers suggestions for how humans can improve their treatment of animals. This book is an important contribution to the history of animal welfare and remains relevant today as a source of inspiration for those who advocate for the rights 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.
