Book Overview

""The Obligation and Extent of Humanity to Brutes: Principally Considered with Reference to the Domesticated Animals"" is a book written by William Youatt in 1839. The book explores the moral and ethical obligations of humans towards animals, specifically domesticated animals. Youatt argues that animals have the capacity to feel pain and suffering, and therefore, humans have a responsibility to treat them with kindness and compassion. The book covers a wide range of topics related to animal welfare, including the treatment of farm animals, the use of animals in entertainment, and the ethics of animal experimentation. Youatt also discusses the role of religion and philosophy in shaping our attitudes towards animals, and argues that a compassionate approach to animal welfare is not only morally right but also beneficial to society as a whole. Overall, ""The Obligation and Extent of Humanity to Brutes"" is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider their relationship with animals and the moral implications of our actions towards them. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in animal welfare, ethics, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
