Humanitarian League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Humanitarian League was an organisation formed in England in 1891 by Henry Salt who was also the General Secretary and Editor. Other founding members were John Galsworthy, Colonel W. L. Blenkinsop Coulson,[1] and Lawyer Edward Carpenter. It's aims were to enforce the principle that it is iniquitous to inflict avoidable suffering on any sentient being. The League closed down in 1920.[2] It's objectives included the banning of all hunting as a sport.
