After joining PETA in 1984, Joan took part in many of PETA’s campaigns and has Joan Price made a difference through effective letter-writing. When PETA asked Joan to take action in a case involving her alma mater, Arizona State University (ASU), she did not hesitate. Joan immediately contacted the editors of her local newspaper, The Arizona Republic, to tell them about the cruel and deadly experiments taking place inside ASU’s anatomy and physiology classrooms. Then and Now: As a child, Joan would drape toilet paper over the side of the bathtub to allow spiders who had fallen in to escape. “If the spider got away, it was fortunate—if not, [the spider] was augustus squashed by a family member or friend and I received ridicule from all sides,” says Joan.

  • Every Field of Humane Work—EVERYWHERE
    CHAPTER 1 Every Field of Humane Work—EVERYWHERE n simple terms the founding of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in 1954 was the incorporation of a new group by a breakaway fac- tion dissatisfied with the activity, direction, and political weakness of the American Humane Association (AHA), the then-dominant organization in the field of animal protection. Over the years, however, the decision to cre- ateI a new kind of animal protection organization, established in the nation’s capital, deter- mined to recruit a national membership base, and focused on confronting national cruelties beyond the scope of local societies and state federations, proved to be far more significant. Within several decades of its modest beginnings, The HSUS would eclipse the organization from which it sprang, and many others as well. Five decades later The HSUS was the largest and most influential animal protection organization in the world. Animal Protection before 1954 Organized animal protection in America dates from the 1860s, when like-minded citizens launched societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCAs) in one city after another and pursued their goals of kind treatment on a range of fronts. After a period of considerable vitality, however, the movement lost ground after World War I and its concerns dropped from public view. Several generations of leaders failed to match the vision, energy, or executive abilities of the humane movement’s founding figures. Moreover, the period between World War I and World War II proved to be an infertile social context for the consideration of animal issues, and the American humane movement became quiescent and ineffectual.
