Killing of animals for food is one thing, but on the other hand they do not exist simply as things to be slaughtered. this is true of fishing, too. many men fish and leave their victims to rot and stink. but what about the fish? has he no rights - not to be romanticized as though he were a man - but real rights?

I do not see any reason why animals should be slaughtered to serve as human diet when there are so many substitutes. after all, man can live without meat. it is only some carnivorous animals that have to subsist on flesh. killing animals for sport, for pleasure, for adventures, and for hides and furs is a phenomenon which is at once disgusting and distressing. there is no justification in indulging in such acts of brutality . . . life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to a man. just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not to die, so do other creatures.

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

So, eventually, he made one final arrangement with himself, which he has religiously held to ever since, and that was to count each fish that he caught as ten, and to assume ten to begin with. for example, if he did not catch any fish at all, then he said he had caught ten fish - you could never catch less than ten fish by his system; that was the foundation of it. then, if by any chance he really did catch one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty, three forty, and so on.
