  • Animal Rights Movement
    Animal Rights Movement The Animal Protection Movement. Prevention of cruelty to animals became an important movement in early 19th Century England, where it grew alongside the humanitarian current that advanced human rights, including the anti-slavery movement and later the movement for woman suffrage. The first anti-cruelty bill, intended to stop bull-baiting, was introduced in Parliament in 1800. In 1822 Colonel Richard Martin succeeded in passing an act in the House of Commons preventing cruelty to such larger domestic animals as horses and cattle; two years later he organized the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to help enforce the law. Queen Victoria commanded the addition of the prefix "Royal" to the Society in 1840. Following the British model, Henry Bergh organized the American SPCA in New York in 1866 after returning from his post in St. Petersburg as secretary to the American legation in Russia; he hoped it would become national in scope, but the ASPCA remained primarily an animal shelter program for New York City. Other SPCAs and Humane Societies were founded in the U.S. beginning in the late 1860s (often with support from abolitionists) with groups in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and San Francisco among the first. Originally concerned with enforcing anti-cruelty laws, they soon began running animal shelters along the lines of a model developed in Philadelphia. The American Humane Association (AHA), with divisions for children and animals, was founded in 1877, and emerged as the leading national advocate for animal protection and child protection services. As the scientific approach to medicine expanded, opposition grew to the use of animals in medical laboratory research -- particularly in the era before anesthetics and pain-killers became widely available.

The animal welfare approach, which focuses on regulating animal use, maintains that humans have an obligation to treat animals "humanely" but may use them for human purposes.2 The animal rights approach, which focuses on abolishing animal use, argues that animals have inherent moral value that is inconsis- tent with us treating them as property.3 The animal welfare approach is the dominant model of ani- mal advocacy in the United States.4 Animal experimentation provides a fertile ground for testing this model because a unique confluence of factors make experimentation appear susceptible to meaningful regulation.

The Australian rabbit meat industry is a relatively unexplored area of animal protection scholarship. Of particular significance is the fact that, in contrast to the move towards ‘free range’ for other domestic species used for meat, there is no such thing, nor it seems will there ever be, ‘free range’ domestic rabbit meat.

    AC53-gala:Augustus club newsletter 7/29/10 3:00 PM Page 1 Giving Animals a Future augustusCLUB ‘s Dr. Joan Price is a retired philosophy professor and a loving guardian of two dogs. 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. But now, children who care about animals are more likely to be admired than mocked. “[B]ecause of PETA, people CLUB are beginning to realize that compassion for animals is identical with goodness of human character.” Issue No. 53 | Summer 2010 From 1980 through 2010, We Want to Hear From You.
