[ll The "Humane Society" and the "Band of Mercy" have joined this crusade, along with numerous other groups aimed toward sane specific act of cruelty. [2] Groups which indirectly advocate kindne~s to animal life are the Vegetarians and Anti-Vivisectionists. As a result of public pressure, laws have been passed in nearly every state making it a misdemeanor to treat animals cruelly. In 1960, slaughter-houses were required by law to treat animals in a rrore humane manner just previous to killing them for public consump tion.[3]
