Books About the Impact of Early Animal Protection Laws
"These books are a fascinating read about how early animal protection laws were first employed to help a severely abused child (in the 1800’s) before there were child protection laws on the books. It's a story that most people are not aware of, but many shelter workers can take pride in our early beginnings to see how our work can have positive effects on people as well as animals."
