Quote by Shirley Lord
Animals are considered as property only. To destroy or to abuse them, from malice to the proprietor, or with an intention injurious to his interest in them, is criminal. But the animals themselves are without protection. The law regards them not substantively. They have no RIGHTS!
Summary
This quote is suggesting that although animals are considered the property of humans, it is deemed criminal to intentionally harm or abuse them that goes against the owner's interests. However, it highlights that animals lack substantial protection and are not recognized as individuals with rights by the law. The quote implies that there is a disparity between the legal treatment of animals as property and their inability to be granted inherent rights or protections.
