In September 2020, the British Library acquired the personal archive of animal rights activist Kim Stallwood. Explore the life of a leading campaigner, theorist and author who has been at the forefront of international animal advocacy for decades. Delve into the personal archive of this champion of animals and uncover the fascinating history of the movement from the 1970s to the present day. Kim’s veganism started over forty years ago, and since then plant-based lifestyles and animal rights have entered into the mainstream. These issues have never been more relevant, with environmental awareness and growing concern for the moral and legal rights of all creatures, so join Kim as he reflects on a lifetime of activism. 2022 marked the bicentenary of the first recorded animal welfare legislation the ‘Cruel Treatment of Cattle Act 1822’ also known as the ‘Martin’s Act.’ In the second half of this event legal expert Professor Paula Sparks will tell the broader story of animal rights legislation in the UK and discuss her role as chairperson of the UK Centre for Animal Law.
