  In eighteenth-century England - where cockfighting and bull baiting drew large crowds, and the abuse of animals was routine - the idea of animal protection was dismissed as laughably radical. This book presents a cultural narrative that takes us into the lives of animals - and into the minds of humans - during some of history's fascinating times.
