Published in 1892, this pioneering book presents early philosophical and ethical arguments for the compassionate treatment of animals and critiques prevailing attitudes of cruelty and exploitation. Henry Salt's insights laid the groundwork for the modern animal rights movement, inspiring generations of advocates and contributing to the growing awareness and understanding of animal welfare issues. This early treatise remains a significant and enduring contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding the moral considerations of human-animal relations. - Summary by Jeffrey Stumpf
