Biographical / Historical
The Millenium Guild was founded in 1912 by Emarel Freshel. The guild's object was "to promote by precept and example, a just consideration of the rights of all races, human and subhuman and to teach that foremost among the unnecessary evils of the world and one which underlies most of the other evils, is the mutilation and slaughter of our fellow creatures for food and other selfish ends and to set forth the physical and moral reasons why this is so."
