EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful engraving from an American newspaper in 1877 captures a disturbing scene of animal cruelty that was once all too common. In the image, a horse is being mercilessly beaten by its rider as they travel through the snowy landscape on a sled. However, this haunting depiction also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our treatment of animals since those dark times. It is thanks to the tireless efforts of Henry Bergh, who founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1865, that such acts are now firmly relegated to history. Bergh's vision and dedication paved the way for significant changes in society's attitudes towards animals and their welfare. The establishment of organizations like ASPCA brought about much-needed awareness and legal protections for these voiceless creatures. Today, as we look at this print with gratitude for progress made, it serves as a poignant symbol not only of our collective responsibility but also our capacity for compassion and empathy towards all living beings. This remarkable artwork from Granger Art on Demand reminds us that even amidst darkness, there is always hope for change – reminding us never to forget Mr. Bergh's invaluable contributions towards ending animal cruelty forever.
