Evolution of Animal Protection Movements in the 19th Century

This chapter discusses the end of animal baiting in the 19th century through the implementation of the Alleable Cruelty Act in 1835, exploring the intersection of various social campaigns like temperance and the anti-cruelty movements. It also delves into the establishment of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children as an offshoot of the RSPCA, the emergence of the Vegetarian Society and the radical Humanitarian League, and the distinctions between animal welfare, animal rights, and animal conservation movements.
