Exposition

[(a) Wantonly] The act is to be deemed wanton when
performed deliberately for the sake of seeing the animal suffer and
not for any useful purpose

1. In the way of chastisement, so it be .
2. In making the animal subservient to the use of or
man conveniences of man & his example in the way of food, physic, carrying cloathingconveyance
or manufacture.
3. To defend any person or thing from being hurt or annoy'd
by it.
4. In the way of experiment to promote medical or
other useful knowledge
3 [(c) Animal] It matters not what the animal is, so it
appear to be susceptible of pain: whether bird, beast, fish
or insect.
"The poor worm you tread on
"In corporal sufferance feels a fancy as great
"As when a hero dies."
2 [(b) Instrumental] It matters not by what means: whether by beating
it for instance with one's own hand, or by setting another animal
