The Day May Come When The Rest

To What Shall The Character Of Utility Be Ascribed, If Not To That Which Is A Source Of Pleasure?

I Don't Care Whether Animals Are Capable Of Thinking; All I Care About Is That They Are Capable Of Suffering!

What Else Is It That Should Trace The Insuperable Line? Is It The Faculty Of Reason Or Perhaps The Faculty Of Discourse? But A Full-grown Horse Or Dog Is Beyond Comparison A More Rational, As Well As More Conversable Animal, Than An Infant Of A Day Or A Week Or Even A Month Old. But Suppose They Were Otherwise, What Would It Avail? The Question Is Not, Can They Reason?, Nor Can They Talk? But, Can They Suffer? Why Should The Law Refuse Its Protection To Any Sensitive Being? The Time Will Come When Humanity Will Extend Its Mantle Over Everything Which Breathes.

As To The Evil Which Results From Censorship, It Is Impossible To Measure It, Because It Is Impossible To Tell Where It Ends.

Pleasure Is In Itself A Good; Nay, Even Setting Aside Immunity From Pain, The Only Good.
