Comment & Debate
Jeremey Bentham, Theory of Legislation, Principles of the Penal Code. “The Culture of Benevolence.” 1802 – “Cock-fights and bull-fights, the chase of the hare and the fox, fishing, and other amusements of the same kind, necessarily suppose a want of reflection or a want of humanity; since these sports inflict upon sensitive beings the most lively sufferings, and the most lingering and painful death that can be imagined.”[1]
