Abstract:

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was one of the most prominent pressure groups in nineteenth-century England. This middle-class reform group, inspired by the Christian faith, led the movement to defend animals from mistreatment. It enforced the law using its army of Inspectors and used education to engender kindness towards animals. While historians have debated the work of the RSPCA at length, they have paid less attention to the work of branches of the SPCA established in the British colonies. This article focuses on the activities of the Tasmanian SPCA from its formation in 1878 to the suspension of its activities in 1914. The Tasmanian society was inspired by the philosophy and methods of the parent society and initiated a ‘civilizing mission’ to deal with the widespread cruelty to animals in the capital Hobart. This article assesses the work of the society in protecting domestic animals, especially horses, which were widely used for work, transport and recreation. Although difficult to measure changing cultural attitudes, by 1914 the TSPCA seems to have helped change long established practices and ensured that the law was of more than symbolic protection to animals.

Abstract:

This paper argues that the Christian discourse disseminated by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (rspca) in the early Victorian period represents nonhuman animals as complicit in their own subjection. Using Foucault’s notion of pastoral power—a power of care—we can recognize rspca discourse as constructing animal subjects who desire to remain subject to humankind. This essay demonstrates how three animal welfare tracts submitted to the rspca for a contest in 1837 rely on Christian discourse and construct animal subjects who willingly subject themselves to human needs and desires. These texts, one of which was the winner and published by the rspca, demonstrate that the construction of animal subjectivity within animal welfare discourse presents a striking form of power over animals that has not yet been noticed by other critics.

Abstract:

There is a central contradiction in human relationships with animals: as Erica Fudge notes, “We live with animals, we recognize them, we even name some of them, but at the same time we use them as if they were inanimate, as if they were objects” (8). Such a contradiction is also, of course, present in human interactions, in which power relations allow for the objectification of one human being by another. In an analysis of images and texts produced by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) in the nineteenth-century, I want to examine the overlap in representations of animals and humans as subject to objectification and control. One common way of critiquing human treatment of animals within the RSPCA's journals, Animal World and Band of Mercy, was to have humans trade places with animals: having boys fantastically shrunk to the size of the animals they tortured, for example, or imagining the horrors of vivisection when experienced by humans. Such imaginative exercises were meant to defamiliarize animal usage by implying a shared experience of suffering: what was wrong for a human was clearly just as wrong for an animal. However, I argue that some of the images employed by the society suggest the opposite; instead of constructing animal cruelty in a new light, these images instead work to underline the shared proximity of particular humans with animals. In texts that focus specifically upon humans wearing animal bonds – reins, collars, and muzzles – the RSPCA's anti-cruelty discourse both critiqued the tools of bondage and, I suggest, invited the audience to see deep connections between animals and the humans taking their place. Such connections ultimately weaken the force of the animal/human reversal as an animal rights strategy, suggesting as they do that humans themselves often have use value in economies of labor, affect, and are subject to the same power relations that produce an animal as “animal.”

Abstract:

A live Eurasian badger (Meles meles) was admitted to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, West Hatch, Somerset, on August 10, 2018. It had been found in a local garden entangled in electric fencing. Examination of the badger under anaesthesia revealed a small number of papillomatous lesions on the right cheek and samples of the lesions were submitted to Animal and Plant Health Agency. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the lesion material confirmed the presence of a papillomavirus and further histological examination of tissue samples from the lesion revealed features consistent with a finding of papillomatosis. Here we report the first diagnosis of papillomatosis due to a papillomavirus in Eurasian badgers, another infectious agent detected in this species.

This issue of the journal contains, for the first time, a Guest Editorial. This type of contribution, which is to be an occasional feature of the journal, is written at the invitation of the Editor-in-Chief and allows eminent outsiders to pass informed comment on current and controversial animal welfare problems. The first of these Guest Editorials is by David Bowles, the European Officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), and describes the background to and the present situation re the attempt by the European Community to ban the importation of furs obtained by the use of the leghold (gin) trap. He paints a somewhat gloomy picture of what happens when European animal welfare interests fall foul of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) obligations.

Abstract:

Preface Whenever animals are used in research, minimizing pain and distress and promoting good welfare should be as important an objective as achieving the experimental results. This is important for humanitarian reasons, for good science, for economic reasons and in order to satisfy the broad legal principles in international legislation. It is possible to refine both husbandry and procedures to minimize suffering and improve welfare in a number of ways, and this can be greatly facilitated by ensuring that up-to-date information is readily available. The need to provide such information led the British Veterinary Association Animal Welfare Foundation (BVAAWF), the Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments (FRAME), the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) to establish a Joint Working Group on Refinement (JWGR) in the UK. The chair is Professor David Morton and the secretariat is provided by the RSPCA. This report is the ninth in the JWGR series. The RSPCA is opposed to the use of animals in experiments that cause pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm and together with FRAME has particular concerns about the continued use of non-human primates. The replacement of primate experiments is a primary goal for the RSPCA and FRAME. However, both organizations share with others in the Working Group, the common aim of replacing primate experiments wherever possible, reducing suffering and improving welfare while primate use continues. The reports of the refinement workshops are intended to help achieve these aims. This report produced by the British Veterinary Association Animal Welfare Foundation (BVAAWF)/Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments (FRAME)/Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA)/Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) Joint Working Group on Refinement (JWGR) sets out practical guidance on refining the husbandry and care of non-human primates (hereinafter primates) and on minimizing the adverse effects of some common procedures. It provides a valuable resource to help understand the physical, social and behavioural characteristics and needs of individual primates, and is intended to develop and complement the existing literature and legislative guidelines. Topics covered include refinements in housing, husbandry and common procedures such as restraint, identification and sampling, with comprehensive advice on issues such as primate communication, assessing and facilitating primate wellbeing, establishing and maintaining social groups, environmental and nutritional enrichment and animal passports. The most commonly used species are the key focus of this resource, but its information and recommendations are generally applicable to other species, provided that relevant individual species characteristics are taken into account.

Abstract:

Due to resource limitations, animal shelters in Australia historically have focused on rehoming animals considered ‘highly adoptable’. Increasingly, animal shelters in Australia are rehoming animals with pre-existing medical and/or behavioural issues. These animals are often rehomed with an ‘indemnity waiver’ to transfer the responsibility of ongoing financial costs associated with these conditions from the shelter to the new owner. However, it is unknown what effect these indemnity waivers have on the length of stay (LOS) of animals prior to adoption. The current study used data collected from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) Weston shelter located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia in 2017 to investigate the effect of indemnity waivers on the LOS of cats. A restricted maximum likelihood model (REML) was used to determine the effect of breed, age, coat colour, presence of a waiver, waiver type (categorised into seven groups) and waiver number (no waiver, single waiver or multiple waivers) on LOS. In the final multivariate model, age, breed and waiver number were found to influence LOS. Young cats, purebred cats and cats adopted without a waiver were adopted fastest. This study is the first to report the effect of indemnity waivers on the adoptability of cats from shelters.

Abstract:

Desde 1824 con la creación de la Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) en Londres, las protectoras destinaron su tiempo a desarrollar acciones en defensa de un mundo más respetuoso con el medio ambiente, y ello desde varios niveles: la lucha desde el marco legal que permitiera una normativa cada vez más consecuente con el mundo animal y vegetal; las movilizaciones desde grandes ciudades hasta pequeñas poblaciones para evitar acciones inhumanas desde la cotidianeidad, el modelo socioeconómico y el ocio; y el desarrollo de un corpus teórico y una vanguardia propagandista, pedagógica y formativa. Muchos de los fundamentos ideológicos que dieron base a estos proteccionistas decimonónicos –anotamos al británico Salt entre otros‒, provinieron de la evolución teórica acerca de las actitudes morales para con los animales y la naturaleza –Grecia, sociedades cristianas y orientales, renacimiento, racionalismo, utilitarismo y contractualismo principalmente‒. Reflejamos desde la perspectiva cultural proteccionista cómo se produjo este tránsito desde los primeros conceptos, hasta la consolidación de una teoría sensible con el medioambiente en el escenario de las sociedades modernas e industriales de Europa y América.

Abstract:

O modelo de produção mais utilizado na avicultura brasileira é o sistema de integração entre produtores e frigoríficos, o que permite a análise completa da cadeia produtiva e o estudo sistematizado da correlação entre estrutura, manejo e ambiente proporcionado às aves. Diante deste cenário, objetivou-se identificar os principais pontos vulneráveis da cadeia produtiva de frangos de corte relacionados à ambiência e ao manejo, caracterizando o nível de atendimento das normas de bem-estar animal (BEA) em estabelecimentos de criação e abate de aves, localizados no Sudoeste Goiano. Desta forma, procedeu-se à verificação de recomendações norteadas pelas diretrizes da Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) e da Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) em vinte granjas e três frigoríficos distribuídos pela região amostrada. Os dados foram analisados pelo método descritivo. Como resultado, foram observadas falhas técnicas, de manejo e estruturais nas etapas pré-abate, bem como nos procedimentos industriais nos estabelecimentos avaliados, além da total ausência de enriquecimento ambiental.

Abstract:

Resumo O progresso científico permitiu uma melhoria indiscutível na qualidade de vida humana e de outros animais. Todavia, este sucesso é frequentemente apresentado sem menção dos custos a ele associados. Tendo como referência o período da ciência moderna, iniciado e consolidado nos séculos XVI e XVII, o aumento de grande parte do conhecimento científico fez-se com recurso à experimentação em humanos e animais. Num claro exemplo de permeabilidade da ciência aos valores hierárquicos vigentes na sociedade, escravos e prisioneiros foram utilizados em experiências diversas, assim como os mais pobres e vulneráveis (por exemplo, pessoas com doenças mentais). Igualmente comum foi a prática de testagem em pacientes antes de estar garantida a segurança das substâncias inoculadas. A prática de vivissecção e dissecação de animais era também generalizada, sendo usados com frequência cães, ratos, coelhos, gatos, cavalos e veados, generalizando-se o uso de primatas no século XX. Cientistas como o português Amato Lusitano (1511-1568), o inglês William Harvey (1578-1657), os franceses Claude Bernard (1813-1878), Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) ou o alemão Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915) são apenas alguns exemplos do uso da experimentação animal nas suas descobertas. Mas, se mobilizar princípios éticos fundamentais dos dias de hoje em práticas ocorridas no passado parece não fazer sentido, importa evidenciar que as práticas cientificas descritas foram um dos fatores que conduziram ao surgimento de percursores dos direitos humanos e dos animais e à criação no século XIX de associações como a Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) e da Société Protectrice des Animaux (SPA) que iniciaram a luta organizada contra a crueldade sobre os animais. Estes e outros movimentos conduziram à situação atual em que o uso de animais em investigação científica continua a ser um tema controverso, e em que os princípios da substituição, redução e refinamento têm vindo a ser adotados. Neste texto pretende-se apresentar ocontributos de alguns cientistas para a história da experimentação animal nos últimos 5 séculos. Recorre-se à análise documental de algumas obras de autores de referência, a saber: Bory (2013), Newton (2013) e Guerreni (2022), embora outros autores sejam igualmente mobilizados. Palavras-chave: Experimentação Animal, Vivissecção, Ética, Bem-estar animal Abstract Scientific progress has allowed an indisputable improvement in the quality of life for humans and other animals. However, this success is often presented without mentioning the costs associated with it. Taking the period of modern science as reference, which began and consolidated in the 16th and 17th centuries, the increase of part of scientific knowledge was achieved through experimentation on humans and animals. In a clear example of the permeability of science to the hierarchical values prevailing in society, slaves and prisoners were used in different experiments, as well as the poorest and most vulnerable (for example, people with mental illnesses). Equally common was the practice of testing patients before the safety of the inoculated substances was guaranteed. The practice of vivisection and dissection on animals was also generalized, being dogs, rats, rabbits, cats, horses and deer frequently used, and primates generalized only in the 20th century. Scientists such as the Portuguese Amato Lusitano (1511-1568), the English William Harvey (1578-1657), the French Claude Bernard (1813-1878) and Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) or the German Paul Ehrlich (1854-1915) are just a few examples of the use of animal experimentation in their discoveries. But, if mobilizing fundamental ethical principles of today in practices that occurred in the past does not seem to make sense, it is important to highlight that the scientific practices described were one of the factors that led to the emergence of precursors of human and animal rights and to the creation in the 19th century of associations such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and the Société Protectrice des Animaux (SPA) which initiated the organized fight against cruelty to animals. These and other movements have led to the current situation in which the use of animals in scientific research continues to be a controversial topic, and in which the principles of substitution, reduction and refinement have been adopted. This text aims to present the contributions of some scientists to the history of animal experimentation in the last 5 centuries. Documentary analysis of some works by reference authors, namely: Bory (2013), Newton (2013) and Guerreni (2022) was privileged, although other texts are also referenced.

Abstract:

Prior to the streetcar lines being electrified in the late 1800s, equines pulled the cars. The quadrupeds that pulled the horsecars in New Orleans, Louisiana, were area specific: New Orleans had mules, not horses. The mule in the South is typically associated with the rural South; however, in nineteenth century urban New Orleans the mule played an integral part in daily commerce and society. New Orleanians admiration for the animals turned into concern when the rigors of work became apparent to the public, as mules suffered from the abuses of drivers, the seedy practices of street railway companies, malnutrition, and exhaustion. As a direct result, the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was established and many New Orleanians took to defending the voiceless laborers. Animal rights, not the drive for more modernity, was the central factor to convince the city to electrify the street railway

Abstract:

How did the Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children protect children in post war Glasgow? The analysis in this study of the 'construction' of child protection is centred upon three questions relating to the practice of the RSSPCC: What forms did intervention take? Who was the focus of practice? How and why did practice change during the 30 year period, 1960-1990, of this study? The period 1960-1990 witnessed rapid political, economic and social changes which contributed to the recognition by the state of social problems which affected families. The RSSPCC (founded in 1884) was established by the beginning of the twentieth century as the principal arm of the state in the investigation and prosecution of child abuse and neglect throughout Scotland. The Society sustained this key role up to the middle of the 1970s and then lost it completely in 1992. This study is not a history of the RSSPCC. However an historical perspective was adopted to further understanding of the organisation's role in Scottish society and in the lives of families whose standards of parenting were causing concern. The sources of that concern were found often within the family. Many mothers (less often fathers) sought assistance from the RSSPCC only to find themselves subjects of intense scrutiny and intervention. The analysis and conclusions of this study are derived from: the RSSPCC case records of intervention in the lives of 1,500 families, the records of 120 prosecutions of parents for cruelty and or neglect, a selection of Annual Reports from 1889 to 1993, and interviews with 51 RSSPCC staff. A theoretical framework which brought historical sociology, post structuralist models of power and feminism together with the concept of 'Adocentrism' (the unswerving allegiance to adult values) was developed to illuminate the puzzles, paradoxes and complexities of the changing constructions of child protection. This study concludes that the 'construction' of child protection developed and changed in response to a number of factors. However, the power to define and negotiate the subjects and boundaries of intervention was invariably retained by the professionals and furthermore the focus of that intervention was predominantly with and between adults.

Abstract:

Abstract It is clear that humans have had close associations with animals, including pet keeping, which date back to antiquity. However, it wasn’t until the sixteenth century that the French philosopher Michel de Montaigne began to raise the issue as to the true nature of animal intelligence and the lack of human uniqueness. Subsequently, other writers such as Rousseau and Locke and artists such as Blake and Hogarth supported this idea. The first attempts to make cruelty to animals illegal took place in England at the start of the nineteenth century. Subsequently, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and several antivivisection societies were formed. Opposition to scientific research in particular began with the Brown Dog affair, when activists infiltrated medical school classes and disclosed what they had seen. This was followed by a series of demonstrations and counterdemonstrations launching the animal welfare movement in its modern form.

Abstract:

Even in a country like the UK, which appears to be a nonhuman-animal-loving nation, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals receives over one million calls a year reporting possible nonhuman animal abuse or neglect. In order to decrease nonhuman animal suffering, there needs to be better understanding of perceptions towards nonhuman animals and their welfare. In this regard, this chapter moves beyond binary gender investigations to an inclusive exploration, via a survey, of attitudes of both people with the range of gender identities and people with different perceptions of gender roles towards nonhuman animals, with illustrative focus on status dogs. The findings confirm those from previous research but reveal some interesting nuances around non-cisgender identities. Such information may contribute to better understanding of gender identity and gender roles related attitudes towards nonhuman animal welfare and thus identify the gaps in public education about nonhuman animal abuse and ultimately such information will aid the abolition of animal oppression.

Abstract Paul Plonka bred a litter of 11 boxer puppies in March 1994, and telephoned his local veterinarian to arrange for them to be docked, as he had done with his last litter some years previously. Imagine his surprise when the veterinarian declined to do so. What was he to do? If he didn’t have their tails removed he might not be able to sell the puppies, and, anyway, who had ever heard of a boxer with a long tail? He must do it himself-but how? He reasoned that cutting off the tails with a knife or scissors might cause excessive bleeding and also make a mess, so instead he tied each tail at its base with cord to cut off the blood supply, anticipating that the tails would drop off in time. This did occur, and Plonka felt he had done a good job. A few weeks later, an inspector from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) called and asked him who had docked the puppies, at what age, and how they had been docked? Plonka subsequently found himself in court, emerging with a fine of 350 pounds (550 dollars) and having to pay legal costs of 50 pounds.1 He was found guilty of contravening the UK Veterinary Surgeons Act, 1966 (amended 1991), by carrying out an act of veteinary surgery without being appropriately qualified.

Abstract:

We live in a society where human rights are highly valued. However, many stories in relation to animal welfare and animals’ rights remain shocking and appalling without any concern. Sri Lanka is a country where there is a long tradition of kindness and respect for animals that has been extended across many horizons. But today, many heinous stories relating to animal abuse are heard very often. From a legal perspective, the concept of animal welfare has become a mere dream because of the current laws. Action in terms of law, policy, and public awareness is needed now more than ever. The current law relating to animal protection is inadequate, archaic, and does not address modern trends in animal welfare. The current law is the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Ordinance No. 13 of 1907. Sri Lanka’s animal lovers have waited for years with hope for the new Animal Welfare Act to become law, yet it has still not become law. Many published and hidden stories relating to animal cruelty and abuse take place day by day. The acts of cruelty belong to both intentional and negligent acts of humans. The lack of a proper legal regime to protect animals from cruelty has become one of the major root causes of the increase in animal cruelty. Relying on the qualitative method of research, the researcher intends to critically evaluate the prevailing law relating to animal welfare in Sri Lanka. with hope for the new Animal Welfare Act to become law, yet it has still not become law.
