The Duty of Mercy: A Dissertation on the Duty of Mercy and Sin of Cruelty to Brute Animals (Kinship Library) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This 18th-century divine's influential "Dissertation" was once regarded as the foundation stone of the RSPCA. It is devoted to teaching kindness to animals as a duty, and takes into account the connection between racism and the exploitation of non-humans, and between the violence of the 18th century and the failure of society in general to suppress its cruelties.
