  • This Is One of the First Documented Cases of Child Abuse in the United States
    This is one of the first documented cases of child abuse in the United States. Mary Ellen’s Story Mary Ellen’s case took place in 1874. Her spirit remains with us because her case is generally regarded as the beginning of public concern for the plight of abused and neglected children. Mary Ellen was a child whose father was dead and whose mother could not care for her because she was destitute and had to work full-time. The New York Commission of Charities and Correction placed Mary Ellen with Mary McCormack Connolly and her husband, who were to care for her and report each year on her progress. Instead, Mrs. Connolly abused her. She beat Mary Ellen, locked her in a room, rarely allowed her outside, and did not provide adequate food or clothing. Upset by the child’s screaming, a neighbor told a mission worker about Mary Ellen. The mission worker could find no one to intervene; at the time, laws protecting children were not systematically enforced. The mission worker finally appealed to Henry Bergh, the founder and president of the ASPCA, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He took up Mary Ellen’s cause and was able to persuade a judge to hear her case. Mary Ellen was carried into the courtroom wrapped in a blanket. This is what the newspaper reported that she told the judge: My father and mother are both dead. I don’t know how old I am … I call Mrs. Connolly mamma. I have never had but one pair of shoes, but I cannot recollect when that was … My bed at night has only been a piece of carpet stretched on the floor underneath a window … Mamma has been in the habit of whipping and beating me almost every day.

  • Organized Animal Protection and the Language of Rights in America, 1865-1900
    *DO NOT CITE OR DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PERMISSION* “The Inalienable Rights of the Beasts”1: Organized Animal Protection and the Language of Rights in America, 1865-1900 Susan J. Pearson Assistant Professor, Department of History Northwestern University Telephone: 847-471-3744 1881 Sheridan Road Email: [email protected] Evanston, IL 60208 ABSTRACT Contemporary animal rights activists and legal scholars routinely charge that state animal protection statutes were enacted, not to serve the interests of animals, but rather to serve the interests of human beings in preventing immoral behavior. In this telling, laws preventing cruelty to animals are neither based on, nor do they establish, anything like rights for animals. Their raison d’etre, rather, is social control of human actions, and their function is to efficiently regulate the use of property in animals. The (critical) contemporary interpretation of the intent and function of animal cruelty laws is based on the accretion of actions – on court cases and current enforcement norms. This approach confuses the application and function of anticruelty laws with their intent and obscures the connections between the historical animal welfare movement and contemporary animal rights activism. By returning to the context in which most state anticruelty statutes were enacted – in the nineteenth century – and by considering the discourse of those activists who promoted the original legislation, my research reveals a more complicated story. Far from being concerned only with controlling the behavior of deviants, the nineteenth-century animal welfare activists who agitated for such laws situated them within a “lay discourse” of rights, borrowed from the successful abolitionist movement, that connected animal sentience, proved through portrayals of their suffering, to animal rights.

  • The Animal Voices of Edgar Allan Poe
    THE ANIMAL VOICES OF EDGAR ALLAN POE by ©Amyanne Smith A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Department of English/Faculty of Arts Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2014 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Smith ii Abstract There are prominent animal figures and graphic moments of animal imagery in several of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories. These animals are at the heart of the action; they are often main characters. Poe’s animals have voices and these voices challenge the dominant monologue of the narrators and undermine the prevalent ideologies that the stories enact. Poe’s animals shriek, wail, and scream and their voices enable political critiques of some of the central issues at the heart of antebellum America. Without these animals, the marginalized voices could not be heard. The animal denizens in Poe’s stories speak: the cat of “The Black Cat” screams, interrupting and condemning a patriarchal narrator and the orangutan of “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” shrieks, shaves, and murders like a human, challenging the dehumanization of slaves in America. Animal imagery also speaks in the final two stories, but not in the same way; animalizing another being capitalizes on a hierarchy of classifications. By categorizing their oppressors as animals, the patients of “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether” open up a discourse with the narrator in a place where the psychology of madness would silence the voices of the insane and the jester of “Hop-Frog” subverts the monarchical dominance that would oppress the court fool.
