There is, in fact, but one crime in the universe and all varieties of impropriety whatsoever are aspects or phases of this crime. It is the crime of exploitation — the suppression of the interests, lives, or welfares of some beings for the whim or convenience of others—the neglect to recognize the equal or the approxi¬ mately equal rights of all to life, con¬ sideration and happiness—the crime of doing to others as you would that others would not do to you. J. Howard Moore. Why I Am A Vegetarian, 1896
