He became the honorary secretary of the Hampstead branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and was later chairman of the Anti-Vivisection Society. At various times he was on the governing councils of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the National Canine Defence League, the Cat&#8217;s Protection League, the Pit-Ponies Protection Society, and the Anti-Bearing-Rein Association. He was in particular a main force behind the Animals&#8217; Friend Society (founded 1834). Twenty-two separate societies joined in giving him a lifetime award in 1929 in recognition of his work for animal causes. He was also an early member of the Humanitarian League, which had close connections with the Vegetarian Society; he became vice-president of the Vegetarian Society in 1896, and finally its president in 1914, a long tenure which only ended with his death in 1933. ~ (1)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-1'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/remembering-vegetarian-pioneers-henry-s-salt-ernest-bell\/#The_Ernest_Bell_Library\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-22\"  >The Ernest Bell Library<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/remembering-vegetarian-pioneers-henry-s-salt-ernest-bell\/#In_1934_Henry_S_Salt_originally_suggested_the_establishment_of_the_Ernest_Bell_Library_as_a_fitting_memorial_to_him_In_this_Library_the_literature_of_vegetarianism_and_all_the_other_humanitarian_movements_in_which_Mr_Bell_was_so_deeply_interested_would_be_collected_and_made_available\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-23\"  >In 1934 Henry S.

Bell&#8217;s fervency, family wealth, and publishing background made him an effective organizer. He became the honorary secretary of the Hampstead branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and was later chairman of the Anti-Vivisection Society. At various times he was on the governing councils of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the National Canine Defence League, the Cat&#8217;s Protection League, the Pit-Ponies Protection Society, and the Anti-Bearing-Rein Association. He was in particular a main force behind the Animals&#8217; Friend Society (founded 1834). Twenty-two separate societies joined in giving him a lifetime award in 1929 in recognition of his work for animal causes. He was also an early member of the Humanitarian League, which had close connections with the Vegetarian Society; he became vice-president of the Vegetarian Society in 1896, and finally its president in 1914, a long tenure which only ended with his death in 1933. ~ (1)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ernest_Bell_Library\"><\/span>The Ernest Bell Library<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_1934_Henry_S_Salt_originally_suggested_the_establishment_of_the_Ernest_Bell_Library_as_a_fitting_memorial_to_him_In_this_Library_the_literature_of_vegetarianism_and_all_the_other_humanitarian_movements_in_which_Mr_Bell_was_so_deeply_interested_would_be_collected_and_made_available\"><\/span>In 1934 Henry S.
