About Moral Inquiries on the Situation of Man and of Brutes

Moral Inquiries on the Situation of Man and of Brutes is an 1824 treatise by the English philosopher and social reformer Lewis Gompertz, published by Westley & Parish. The book argues for the moral consideration of animals and criticises their use for labour, food, clothing, and experimentation. Gompertz maintains that animals, like humans, are sentient and capable of suffering, and argues that human benefit does not justify causing them harm.
