About An Essay on Humanity to Animals

An Essay on Humanity to Animals is a 1798 book by the English theologian and writer Thomas Young on the moral and theological status of non-human animals. Written while Young was a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, it combines animal ethics and animal theology, arguing that humans have a moral duty to treat animals humanely and to avoid unnecessary cruelty. Young bases this duty on animals' capacity for pleasure and pain, natural law, and Christian teaching. The book also discusses blood sports, hunting, fishing, the treatment of horses and dogs, cruelty in food production, and the moral education of children.
