History
Animal activism can be traced back all the way to 1822 where Great Britain abolitionists spearheaded the earliest animal protection laws. These laws and groups became the blueprint for dozens of new anti-cruelty laws in America. Social reformers and ministers became attentive to the status of animals during the Second Great Awakening (1790–1840). Embracing a new theology of free moral agency and human perfectibility.
