Animal Rights: The Brown Dog Riots of 1907
It may be surprising to discover that the revolt largest, most controversial and violent in Great Britain on the emotive issue of animal rights has occurred in recent years, but in 1907 - and that the players were not heated and noisy ones that demonstrate behalf of animals, but the medical students who defend their experiments cruel, barbaric and unregulated scientific. The so-called Brown Dog Affair - which has seen its worst night of rioting in Trafalgar Square, as about 1,000 boisterous medical students clashed with police, the suffragettes, trade unionists and workers and animal lovers - raged for seven years and was one of the most divisive issues in London.The Edwardian drama began in December 1902, when two women anti-vivisectionists infiltrated the Swedish School of Medicine at University College London and saw the cruelty perpetrated against a terrier Detail brown. During a lesson, while the animal was presumably quite anesthetized, its abdomen cut open a professor, in order to bind and to deprive the dog of the use of his pancreas. For the next two months, the terrier was confined in a cage where her miserable screams shattered the UCL staff more, until it was brought back to the lecture theater in the month of February 1903 Lying on your back on an operating table, the legs of dog and the head were locked and his mouth muzzled before it was again sectioned to verify the results of the previous experiment. It 'was then handed over to another professor, who has cut a new opening to expose the salivary glands, and then stimulated with electricity to attempt to prove that the pressure was independent of blood pressure rising. After half-an-hour, the failed experiment was abandoned. The dog was given to a student who removed his pancreas, before finally relieved of his torture and murder with a knife.When Swedish women exposed to inhuman and prolonged the suffering of this dog unhappy and without a name, the researchers sued for defamation of UCL - claiming they were within the law. They won the legal battle, but lost the war of public opinion - and the brown dog, became a cause celebre. In 1906, a statue commemorating this poor terrier was erected in the Park Latchmere, Battersea with the following inscription: "In Memory of the Brown Terrier Dog done to death in the laboratories of University College in February 1903, after having endured vivisection, which lasted for over two months and have been supplied by a Vivisector to another death until his release came as a reminder of the 232 dogs vivisected at the same place during the year 1902 men and women of England -? .. How long have these things "The statue - with its bold, brash antivivisection membership - has become a symbolic reference point for political activists. But scientists, doctors and medical students hated the dog provocative bronze for the contempt poured on their profession. Efforts to remove legal when the statue failed, these "anti-Dogger" repeatedly tried to destroy themselves, forcing the council to employ progressive Battersea 24 hours of protection. The Brown Dog debate raged in the streets, in newspapers and public meetings on Parliament - which ends with the most violent night of rioting December 10, 1907 In a demonstration planned to coincide with the annual Oxford-Cambridge rugby match, the medical students from UCL - united by their peers at Oxford and Cambridge - once more attempted to eradicate the statue with a hammer. Chased by the locals, students marched to Trafalgar Square and sang the song "Little Brown Jug" How to walk after dark, we turn our steps towards Latchmere Park, And there we see, to our surprise, A Little Brown and lies.Ha dog stand, ah, ah! Hee Hee, hee, thee.As brown dog as I hate the anti-Doggers gathered around Nelson's Column, mounted police charged the crowd and arrested the leaders - ". Barking like a dog", one who is graduating from Cambridge was the following days and weeks, more revolt. Meeting to vote to women were regularly invaded by medical students, such as barking dogs, shouting "Down with the Brown Dog!" The problem was not resolved until March 10, 1910 - when the new local council, to pay the security costs mounting, remove the statue in the middle of the night.The Brown Dog Riots - which could not be more ideologically in The extraordinary contrast with student demonstrations that we are witnessing - were instigated by the elite, not only on the position of their class, but in their wrong and (ironically) a quasi-religious view was that science had the exclusive right to their own code of ethics . Can the search for knowledge always be justified by barbarous cruelty? 100 years later, repugnant and unnecessary practice of vivisection - Torture by any other name - continues. Men and Women of England - how long are these things? As Mahatma Gandhi said: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way animals are treated." [ABSTRACT] may be surprising to discover that the unrest largest, most controversial and violent in the United Kingdom does not have the emotive issue of animal rights have occurred in recent years, but in 1907 - and that was the strongest players and not the heated demonstration, on behalf of animals, but medical students defend their cruel, barbaric and unregulated scientific experimentation.
