I agree, but I do have a question for anyone who might have an answer. As some of you may know my "retirement hobby" has been to operate a Lincoln website intended especially for students. I would guess that since 1996 I have received at least 100 letters (many from students) asking if Lincoln really said, "I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being." I have searched everywhere for a source for the quote, and I cannot find that Lincoln ever said this. I tell people Lincoln never said it. I see the quote on lots of websites...even on individuals' tee shirts...but I just don't think it's a legitimate Lincoln quote. Has anyone ever seen a source for this quote? |
