Arthur Broome

I think the answer, if we actually give it some thought, is no. Lindsay points out again that the anti-animal cruelty movements were started on a Christian basis, most notably the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is the RSPCA, which was started in England in 1824.

The prospectus, or I guess the charter, for the RSPCA was written by Arthur Broome, who was somehow responsible for getting Humphrey Premat's work

printed.

The seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, sounds very fancy, Lord Ashley, was the vice president of the RSPCA and was also president of the Victoria Street Society for the Protection of Animals from Vivisection, which is surgery conducted for experimental purposes on a living thing.
