An inspiring true story about the man who stood up for animals.
Ex-library book in good condition.
Only 150 years ago, most animals in America were subject to horrific treatment. They needed a champion to protect them from abject cruelty, and that person was Henry Bergh. After witnessing the beating of a horse in the streets of New York and attending a bullfight in Spain, Bergh found his calling. He became an enforcer of animal rights and founded the ASPCA, as well as created many animal cruelty laws. He even expanded his advocacy to children. When Bergh died in 1888, the idea that children and animals should be protected from cruelty was widely accepted: “Mercy to animals means mercy to mankind.”

I heard an interview that mentioned Mark Boyle, and his books, and thought that sounds really interesting. I googled the book, found it on Trade Me, and had it in my hands within the week. Very impressive. The book is in very good condition, the price was great. I've only dipped into it so far, as I'm finishing the book I had already started. What I've read so far is very interesting. I would certainly use this book seller again, as I have a list.
