Fighting Nature: Travelling Menageries, Animal Acts and War Shows - Animal Publics
Professor Peta Tait
19th-century menageries reflected a human capacity for fighting, aggression and dominance over nature, and echoed a cultural fascination with war and colonial expansion. Their legacy embedded in society a belief in the human right to exploit other animal species – a belief yet to be defeated.
