很早就在我的生活，可能是因为贪得无厌的好奇心这是在我出生时，我不喜欢来的训练有素的动物表演。这是我的好奇心，对我宠坏这个娱乐形式，因为我被带到后面的性能要求，以学习如何表现得到了实现。和我背后的勇敢表现和业绩闪光发现的是不是很好。这是一个残酷如此可怕，我相信存在不正常的人谁，一旦意识到这一点，可以永远享受看任何培训，动物打开身体。
    现在我不是一个感伤。由书评和矫饰，pambys我尊敬的原始兽，在暴力和恐怖流血美食排序。如果没有争论我这整体声誉的问题，接受在其目前的票面价值的，让我补充一点，我确实住在一个很粗略的学校生活，看到比普通人的不人道和残酷的占有率，从甲板，并在监狱，贫民区和沙漠，执行室和拉扎尔内部，到战场和军队医院。我所看到的可怕的死亡和伤残。我所看到的低能者绞刑，因为他现在低能者，他们不具备聘请律师。我见过的心和强烈的男人耐力打破，我看到其他人，由虐待，驱赶到永久和嚎叫的疯狂。我亲眼目睹了死亡老幼，甚至婴儿从纯粹的饥饿。我所看到的男人和皮鞭和棍棒和拳头殴打妇女，我看到了犀牛隐藏围绕黑男孩的裸体躯干，以便尽情每个中风剥夺了一圈皮肤奠定鞭子。然而，让我补充最后一点，我从来没有如此震惊和世界的残酷震惊的向我感到震惊和幸福之中感到震惊，大笑，鼓掌时，训练，动物轮流被在舞台上演出的观众。

    Very early in my life, possibly because of the insatiable curiosity that was born in me, I came to dislike the performances of trained animals. It was my curiosity that spoiled for me this form of amusement, for I was led to seek behind the performance in order to learn how the performance was achieved. And what I found behind the brave show and glitter of performance was not nice. It was a body of cruelty so horrible that I am confident no normal person exists who, once aware of it, could ever enjoy looking on at any trained-animal turn.
    Now I am not a namby-pamby. By the book reviewers and the namby- pambys I am esteemed a sort of primitive beast that delights in the spilled blood of violence and horror. Without arguing this matter of my general reputation, accepting it at its current face value, let me add that I have indeed lived life in a very rough school and have seen more than the average man's share of inhumanity and cruelty, from the forecastle and the prison, the slum and the desert, the execution-chamber and the lazar-house, to the battlefield and the military hospital. I have seen horrible deaths and mutilations. I have seen imbeciles hanged, because, being imbeciles, they did not possess the hire of lawyers. I have seen the hearts and stamina of strong men broken, and I have seen other men, by ill-treatment, driven to permanent and howling madness. I have witnessed the deaths of old and young, and even infants, from sheer starvation. I have seen men and women beaten by whips and clubs and fists, and I have seen the rhinoceros-hide whips laid around the naked torsos of black boys so heartily that each stroke stripped away the skin in full circle. And yet, let me add finally, never have I been so appalled and shocked by the world's cruelty as have I been appalled and shocked in the midst of happy, laughing, and applauding audiences when trained-animal turns were being performed on the stage.
    One with a strong stomach and a hard head may be able to tolerate much of the unconscious and undeliberate cruelty and torture of the world that is perpetrated in hot blood and stupidity. I have such a stomach and head. But what turns my head and makes my gorge rise, is the cold-blooded, conscious, deliberate cruelty and torment that is manifest behind ninety-nine of every hundred trained-animal turns. Cruelty, as a fine art, has attained its perfect flower in the trained-animal world.
