Aware of this, a group of radical thinkers, led by\u00a0Eva Gore-Booth, began to monitor the printed media. The group included Esther\u00a0Roper, suffrage activist; Dorothy Cornish, a Montessori educator; Jessey Wade, an\u00a0animal rights campaigner, and Thomas Baty, an international legal scholar. Under\u00a0the direction of Eva they established the periodical Urania in 1916.

Initially, the organisation&#8217;s objective was to educate the public and raise the status of cats. Today&#8217;s cat lovers may be startled to learn that one of Cat Protection&#8217;s early initiatives was to inform the public of humane ways to kill cats. It even appealed for donations of cotton wool and bandages to be used for chloroforming cats. This may seem brutal, but there were few urban vets at the time, no animal shelters and thousands of homeless cats. The current policy of sheltering and rehoming wasn&#8217;t conceived until much later.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/the-brown-linties-by-jessey-wade-featuring-ernest-bell-as-mr-friend\/#Cat_Protection_managed_to_struggle_through_both_the_depression_and_the_second_world_war_advising_the_public_on_keeping_cats_safe_during_air_raids_and_how_to_feed_a_cat_on_rations_The_feral_cat_population_of_Britain_%E2%80%98s_major_cities_soared_during_the_war_as_peoples_attentions_were_focused_on_matters_of_life_and_death_rather_than_their_domestic_animals_Its_a_legacy_that_is_still_being_dealt_with_by_animal_welfare_organisations_today\" class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-132\"  >Cat Protection managed to struggle through both the depression and the second world war, advising the public on keeping cats safe during air raids and how to feed a cat on rations.

Our cage used to be hung outside when it was fine; the room was over a stable, and we could see the horses in the yard below being rubbed and harnessed, and the sparrows picking up crumbs placed in one of the long gardens opposite by a little girl. How we envied those sparrows, and we wondered if the little girl was sorry for <em>us<\/em>.

Aware of this, a group of radical thinkers, led by\u00a0Eva Gore-Booth, began to monitor the printed media. The group included Esther\u00a0Roper, suffrage activist; Dorothy Cornish, a Montessori educator; Jessey Wade, an\u00a0animal rights campaigner, and Thomas Baty, an international legal scholar. Under\u00a0the direction of Eva they established the periodical <em>Urania<\/em> in 1916.

Initially, the organisation&#8217;s objective was to educate the public and raise the status of cats. Today&#8217;s cat lovers may be startled to learn that one of Cat Protection&#8217;s early initiatives was to inform the public of humane ways to kill cats. It even appealed for donations of cotton wool and bandages to be used for chloroforming cats. This may seem brutal, but there were few urban vets at the time, no animal shelters and thousands of homeless cats. The current policy of sheltering and rehoming wasn&#8217;t conceived until much later.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 120px; text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cat_Protection_managed_to_struggle_through_both_the_depression_and_the_second_world_war_advising_the_public_on_keeping_cats_safe_during_air_raids_and_how_to_feed_a_cat_on_rations_The_feral_cat_population_of_Britain_%E2%80%98s_major_cities_soared_during_the_war_as_peoples_attentions_were_focused_on_matters_of_life_and_death_rather_than_their_domestic_animals_Its_a_legacy_that_is_still_being_dealt_with_by_animal_welfare_organisations_today\"><\/span>Cat Protection managed to struggle through both the depression and the second world war, advising the public on keeping cats safe during air raids and how to feed a cat on rations. The feral cat population of Britain &#8216;s major cities soared during the war, as people&#8217;s attentions were focused on matters of life and death rather than their domestic animals. It&#8217;s a legacy that is still being dealt with by animal welfare organisations today. ~<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ernest_Bell_Library_has_an_archive_of_related_material\"><\/span>The Ernest Bell Library has an archive of related material.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-9\"><\/span><strong style=\"color: #993300;\">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Projects\"><\/span>Our Projects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.henrysalt.co.uk\/info\/\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" title=\"The Henry S.

I would now suggest that it would be a most helpful step if individuals who favour this idea would lend their names to strengthen the appeal that will have to be made to some Public Institution for the use of a room, and if Societies and Journals would also express their agreement. Such a Memorial would be so personally suitable, in view of Mr. Bell\u2019s many and long continued services, and so valuable to the cause of humane progress in general, that it is difficult to see how any objection could be made to it: the sole question is whether the initial difficulties can be overcome.

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.

Why have they dropped from the memories of \u00a0most of today&#8217;s animal lovers? About\u00a0Jessey Wade&#8217;s personal life we have discovered very little; we do know that Jessey was working for animals \/ fighting for animals from the mid-1890s onward. We have records of her \u00a0dynamic pro-animal activities for a period of approx. 50 years. The\u00a0Ernest Bell Library\u00a0has more than 150 pieces of Jessey&#8217;s animal rights pamphlets &amp; articles, plus we have images of the banners &amp; posters which she made. We love Jessey the most for her part in producing a superb series of children&#8217;s books for\u00a0The Humanitarian League\u00a0&#8211; in very close collaboration with Ernest Bell,\u00a0Henry S. Salt, Edith Carrington, \u00a0Harrison Weir &amp; others. Ernest Bell stopped eating meat in 1874. For the next almost 60 years he \u00a0used all of his energy, intelligence &amp; his considerable wealth to promote animal rights &amp; related causes. He published hundreds of different cutting-edge animal rights, vegan &amp; vegetarian, humanitarian, anti-vivisection, &#8230;&#8230; and many other books. He donated thousands of these books to animal rights groups to help them to fundraise &amp; to spread their messages.
