19th-century menageries reflected a human capacity for fighting, aggression and dominance over nature, and echoed a cultural fascination with war and colonial expansion. Their legacy embedded in society a belief in the human right to exploit other animal species – a belief yet to be defeated.

‘The author provides a wealth of well researched information and argument that equips readers to reflect for themselves on the devastating effect of humans on animals both wild and domesticated that have been slaughtered, captured, confined, trained, and maddened on an almost inconceivable scale for entertainment, commerce, and politics. ... This impressive and fully sourced work illuminates little-studied aspects of human–nonhuman animal relations, those of particular abuses involving all social classes of westernized society in the industrial age.’
