Description
Since the early nineteenth century, numerous campaigns have denounced the mistreatment of animals.
This book compares the British and French histories of the animal-protection movement to retrace its origins and impact up to the present day.
As Christophe Traïni shows, the struggle for animal rights - inextricably linked to the rise of philanthropy and established long before the birth of the ecology movement - developed out of several important social and political processes, including changes in sensibilities and socially approved emotions, new definitions of what constitutes legitimate violence, and the influence of religious beliefs.
