| Summary, etc. |
In the early twenty-first century animals are news. Parliamentary debates, protests against fox hunting and television programmes like Animal hospital all focus on the way in which we treat animals and on what that says about our own humanity. As vegetarianism becomes ever more popular, and animal experimentation more controversial, it is time to trace the background to contemporary debates and to situate them in a broader historical context. Hilda Kean looks at the cultural and social role of animals from 1800 to the present at the way in which visual images and myths captured the popular imagiation and encouraged sympathy for animals and outrage at their exploitation. |
