<\/span>“Man is an almost hopelessly conceited animal. He thinks that not only the earth with all that it contains was created for his essential benefit, but also the sky, the sun, and indeed, the whole universe, as far as he has any knowledge of it, were designed for his purposes and welfare.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>The sun shines to warm him; the earth brings forth fruits to feed him; the mountains contain metals that he may use them; the mines produce coal that he may work his machinery and cook his dinners. He is the standard by which everything must be measured. What he does not care for has no value. The flowers which he does not see are said, in practical language, ‘to waste their sweetness on the desert air’. <\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

<\/span>When this is his view of inanimate nature, the world of life by which he is surrounded, of course, meets with no more respectful treatment. The animals whom he can use were, according to his view, created for that purpose by a beneficient Creator – the horse to draw his burdens, the cow to give her milk, the cat to kill mice for him. Even those animals whom he cannot use directly are held to be connected in some mysterious way with his welfare, as otherwise, he says, why should they exist? The Eton boy who wrote in defence of the Eton beagles that ‘the hare is a useless animal, you must own, and the only use to be made for it is for the exercise of human beings’, is typical of many others.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Man is the head, the apex of creation, towards whom God has been working from the beginning of time, and when he leaves this world he will find a special heaven prepared for him where no one else may enter except angels, and they, even, will not be superior to him, for he will be one himself then.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Truly a conceited being is this pigmy, whose knowledge of the universe is limited to what he can learn from or guess at by his five very imperfect senses, and a paltry undeveloped intellect which is ever palpably leading him astray”. – Ernest Bell in a 1927 pamphlet – ‘Superiority in the Lower Animals’<\/em>.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>pigmy – (lowercase) adjective- of very small size, capacity, power, etc. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>……<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>In 1905 \u2013 in his Preface to the book Italian Recipes for Food Reformers. by Maria Gironci \u2013 Ernest Bell\u2019s sense of humor & love of language shine out even more brightly! What we now call \u2018veganism\u2019\u00a0is described with\u00a0the rather unmanageable phrase, the<\/span> \u2018\u2026wholesome and invigorating diet of the arboreal ancestors from whom we inherit our canine teeth (wrongly so called),\u2026\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Our history is rich.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>It is not yet very well documented.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>We freely share our items with museums, universities, libraries & scholars worldwide.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>We have a wonderful team of friends \/ supporters.<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>……we never have enough\u00a0$ – \u20ac – \u00a3 – \u00a5 – CHF – kr – \u20a9 – \ufdfc – Rp – etc.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>\u201cA people without a history is like a tree without roots.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/h1>\n

April \/ May 2007 \u2013 Satya<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n

Q) Colleen Patrick-Goudreau<\/a><\/span> \u2013 You use the phrase \u201chistorical amnesia\u201d to refer to the fact that contemporary animal activists\u2014and society as a whole\u2014know nothing of the legacy of animal activism in the U.S. What are some of the effects of having \u201chistorical amnesia\u201d? Why is it so important to know our legacy?<\/h4>\n

A)\u00a0Diane Beers<\/a><\/span> \u2013\u00a0Animal advocacy has an amazing history, yet it is essentially an untold story. African American activists will often say, \u201cA people without a history is like a tree without roots.\u201d Indeed, if activists don\u2019t know the history of their cause, they can have no sense of their movement\u2019s struggles, long-term strategies, achievements and heroes. In addition, they can\u2019t promote their long impressive movement to the public, and their opponents\u2014the meat industry, medical research industry and the government\u2014will fill the void. They have been the ones most aggressively and successfully constructing negative images and outright myths of animal advocacy that the public often believes.<\/h4>\n

<\/span>Our 3 Main Projects<\/span><\/h1>\n

The Henry Salt Archive<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span> is one of our, almost completed, projects.<\/h4>\n

The Humanitarian League<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span> is our Hong Kong registered charity.<\/h4>\n

The Ernest Bell Library<\/a><\/em><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>was conceived in 1934. It is still strong & very active eighty years later \u2013\u00a0\u00a0its primary objectives are to: \u2013<\/h4>\n

<\/span>Collect all of Ernest Bell\u2019s book & non-book works and make them easily accessible to everyone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Collect the literature of vegetarianism and all the other humanitarian movements in which Ernest Bell was so deeply involved.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Assist students and scholars in their research.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Introduce all aspects of Ernest Bell\u2019s life, including his writings, campaign work, influences and his circle of friends.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>Undertake our own research into missing aspects of Ernest Bell\u2019s life and work.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>We already have more than 300 pieces of Ernest Bell\u2019s own writings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>We are also actively building a collection of examples of promotional material, campaign material, fundraising & marketing activities etc. \u2013 related to: \u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>the work of Richard St. Barbe Baker & the \u2018Men of the Trees\u2019 organization & its many sub-branches<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>There are currently more than 2,000 items in the Ernest Bell Library.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>We will complete the\u00a0cataloging of the collection as & when adequate funds are available.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>It is long past time for the library to go online!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/span>\u00a0\u201cI have little doubt that the proposal for the establishment of an Ernest Bell Library,\u00a0which would specialize in humanitarian and progressive literature,\u00a0and so form a sort of center for students, will meet with a wide response.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n
