Quote by Thomas Love Peacock
Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
Summary
This quote suggests that the purpose of animals' existence is to serve and benefit humans. It implies that animals have no inherent worth or moral consideration independent of their utility to humans. This perspective can be seen as anthropocentric, prioritizing human interests and needs over the intrinsic value and rights of other species. It neglects the idea that animals might have their own purposes, rights, and value in the natural world, apart from their relationship to humans.
