| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project revisited the rise of animal welfare movements in nineteenth-century Britain, exploring how the idea of protecting animals from unjustified cruelty became embedded into a variety of social practicies and institutions. It has demonstrated that, while animals came to be exploited for research purposes as well as for economic activities, an increasing number of people became aware of animal cruelty, contemplating the ideal relationships between human and nonhuman animals. Debate over the ethics of animal use often polarized the public at large, especially in face of anti-vivisectionism in the 1870-80s, but by the beginning of the twentieth century, animal welfare entered the mainstream of social concerns and political agendas.
