Features 7 Companion to Neo-Confucian Philosophy, ed. John Makeham [New York: Springer, 2010] p. 205). Additionally, Xunzi's formulation of the idea that good governance arises out of having the right person rather than out of laws found the favor of Hu Hong (1105­1161) among others (The Collected Works of Hu Hong [Beijing: Zhonghua shuju, 1987], 8.18).

Rather, it is accepted that animals must be used as sacrificial offerings to satisfy the rituals, regardless of the compassion evoked by their fear. 13. Indeed, later Confucians do take this stance, not simply toward animals, but toward all aspects of our environment.
