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
Traini 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.
