William Blake on cruelty to animals in 1803

Bookwomble And of how these "small" cruelties reflect upon the morals of those perpetrating them and the society that supports them? ??? “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind.”
― Mahatma Ghandi

rwmg @Bookwomble Yes, I think he's saying the cruelty is wrong not only because of the victim's suffering but also because of the deleterious effect on the perpetrator's character and society. 1y
