Book review

@Throughthemind: there is a book review [1] on JSTOR. The same review also reviews a book by Humphrey Primatt. Unfortunately I can't get access because this paper is behind a paywall. I can only get access to free JSTOR papers. Psychologist Guy (talk) 22:50, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Oxford Handbook of Animal Studies

The Oxford Handbook of Animal Studies, Oxford University Press, 2017, page 30 (edited by Linda Kalof) "Lewis Gompertz, who was born in 1783/4 in England and who, in 1824, wrote a book, Moral Inquiries on the Situation of Man and of Brutes, which remains one of the most progressive and radical books on animal ethics ever written, yet is virtually unknown. Gompertz believed that the feelings of animals were morally equal to the feelings of humans. He was a vegan who rejected the use of animals for any purpose that was not in the animal’s interest. He refused to ride in carriages drawn by horses. Gompertz believed that it was morally acceptable to eat or skin animals who died a natural death, but that we could not justify deliberate killing."
