About
Animals' Rights: Considered in Relation to Social Progress is an 1892 book by the English social reformer Henry Stephens Salt (20 September 1851 — 19 April 1939). It is widely considered to be the first explicit treatment of the concept of animal rights.
In the book, Salt argues against the idea of speciesism, though the term was not coined for another 76 years.
The book also argues against vivisection, misuse of horses and wild animals, hunting and fishing, and the fur trade, and in favour of vegetarianism.
