Foreword
When I read Bernard Rollin's book Animal Rights and Human Morality (New York, 1981) I realized that the animals had gained a powerful champion. Thus I was
delighted when I found that another book on the subject was in preparation and considerably honoured when I was asked to write a Foreword. The Unheeded Cry

commentary on these changes, Rollin allows many of the key figures to speak for themselves. He quotes long passages from their writings that convey vividly the
flavour of their personalities and the scientific atmosphere of their times.
As Rollin points out, the commonsense view of most people has always been that animals, like preverbal children and the mentally
