Letters and evidence gathered against the use of electrocution as a means of humane destruction of animals, 1912 - 1925
Scope and Contents
A collection of letters between the SSPV, RSPCA, and the National Canine Defence League discusing bringing an end to the use of electrocution as a method of humane destruction of stray dogs and cats.
The folder contains gathered evidence through newspaper cuttings and reports to argue for an end to electrocution as the evidence suggests it only causes prolonged suffering and does not guarantee death.
These records date between 1912-1925.
