The Hare; Or, Hunting Incompatible With Humanityis a didactic animal fable written as a stimulus to youth towards a proper treatment of animals. The work follows a hare narrator as it grows from a timid, hedge-dwelling youngster into a creature that must confront the dangers and moral challenges posed by humankind. Across chapters the hare recounts days of cautious foraging, close escapes from dogs and traps, and the gradual dawning that human beings can be both cruel and merciful. It tells of the loss of its parent in a flood, the miseries of being hunted, the frequent predicaments created by careless sport, and the tenderness shown by a humane family that shelters and cares for it. The narrative interweaves literary quotations to underline its moral aims and culminates in a plea that violence toward defenseless animals be rejected, and that education and compassion guide human conduct. Book by book the tale argues that might is not right and that true humanity requires mercy toward all living beings.
