Reasons

Cruelties to animals restrained Laws The restraining men from excercising cruelty
on inferior animals is of use on three accounts
1. For the offender's own sake 1. On their own account: to prevent their giving
way to habits of cruelty or insensibility, which if where
indulged ma are apt to lead men into the worst
of crimes. He who has no feeling for brutes, will have

In this point of view, an act of direct legislation against
cruelty to animals is an act of indirect legislation
against Personal Injuries, Murder and Incendiarism;
and in short against all crimes of which have malice for their
source.

One of the best moral lessons that ever were composed
is are Hogarth's prints entitled The Progress of
Cruelty. In default of Laws, it was the object of
that admirable artist to punish these abuses by
the censure of the world.
