While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this earth?
I have found that, in the composition of the human body as compared with the bodies of animals, the organs of sense are duller and coarser. Thus, it is composed of less ingenious instruments, and of spaces less capacious for receiving the faculties of sense.
