To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A gentleman, writing to me from Edinburgh last week, says — " Four days and nights we had cattle kept in trucks last May ; two died. " It might be expected that motives of self-interest alone would be a sufficient security against such cruelty or neglect ; but such is not the case. A small per- centage of animals killed by thirst or suffocation is submitted to by all parties as inevitable — as a drawback incidental to the more than countervailing advantages of large cargoes and low freights. Th...is state of things is doubtless to be attributed more largely to thoughtlessness than to intention. "The thoughtless cruelty in the world, '' says an eminent thinker, " outweighs almost every other kind" — Evil is wroug-fat by want of Thought, As well as want of Heart. It was stated before the Committee of the House of Com- mons, that in ordinary weather a beast can be kept without water for twenty-four hours, and sustain no injury. On a matter of this kind, I confess, I should prefer the testimony of the ox (if it could be obtained) to that of the grazier.
