Founding of the RSPCA at Old Slaughter's

June 16th, 1824 200 years ago

A meeting at Old Slaughter's coffee house in London brought together a group of concerned individuals to address cruelty against animals. This gathering led to the establishment of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which aimed to promote animal welfare and respond to incidents of abuse. The group's formation marked a significant moment in advocacy for animals, eventually evolving into what is now known as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
