Remarks on Cruelty to Animals

Remarks on Cruelty to Animals is an anonymous pamphlet published in Manchester in 1795 by George Nicholson, an early vegetarian and animal welfare writer. The pamphlet argues that killing animals for food is wrong and promotes a vegetarian diet, presenting its case through extensive quotations and examples drawn from historical, literary and religious sources. In later scholarship, it has been discussed as an example of late-18th-century vegetarian advocacy, and has been cited in work on feminism and animal protection.
