210 Instinct, 



It Is difficult to prove that there is, in the an- 

 imal, any sense of injustice, though there are man- 

 ifestations that look as though there might be. In 

 some cases, the punishment he inflicts, is not for 

 defence, but, plainly, on account of some long re- 

 membered abuse. But so helpless are animals, 

 against the cruel wrongs practised upon them, that 

 their sufferings, for the moment, make every honest 

 man indignant, almost every time he passes through 

 the streets. One would be glad to believe that an- 

 imals are spared suffering from a sense of injustice 

 — that keenest pang which man is called upon to 

 endure.
