Revival and eventual disbandment

[edit]

@Psychologist Guy Hey, do you have any other sources for the 1910 revival and for what happened to the organisation later? Throughthemind (talk) 12:05, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for creating this article. I can help expand the article for the period 1910 to 1938 because there are some newspaper reports covering the Animals' Friend Society's activities from that period. There isn't much other sourcing. The National Council for Animals' Welfare merged with the Animals' Friend Society in 1933 by Jessey Wade, to become it own sub-division of the Animals' Friend Society. There is an obscure source that I have lost that mentions this, I will try and locate it. The Animals' Friend Society was still operating up until around 1960. In the late 1950s they allied themselves with Farmers Guardian newspaper. The National Council for Animals' Welfare disbanded in 1983 [1]. Unfortunately there is no good WP:RS documenting some of this. There are only 2 historians in the world that have knowledge about the Animals' Friend Society beyond 1940. Most historians have covered the Lewis Gompertz older organization but they missed the revival. I will drop you an email. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
