काल वर्णन
14000–1000 ईसापूर्व मानव ने पशुओं को पालतू बनाना आरम्भ किया। सबसे पहले कुत्ते को पालतू बनाया गया। 8500 ईसापूर्व से 1000 ईसापूर्व तक बिल्ली, भेड़, बकरी, गाय, सूकर, मुर्गा, गदहा, घोड़ा, ऊँट, मधुमक्खी, बतख आदि को पालतू बनाया जा चुका था।
1000 ईसापूर्व –700 ई वैदिक धर्म, जैन, और बौद्ध आदि सभी भारतीय धर्मों ने अहिंसा का उपदेश दिया। उनका मानना था कि किसी भी प्राणी से हिंसा नहीं करना श्रेष्ठ आचरण है। इन धर्मों के अधिकांश लोगों ने मांस खाना तथा पशुओ की बलि देना छोड़ दिया। जैन लोग तो इस बात का विशेष ध्यान रखते थे कि किसी भी प्रकार से किसी जीव को कष्ट न दिया जाय। यहूदी, ईसाई और इस्लाम इनकी अपेक्षा पशुओं की कम चिन्ता करते थे किन्तु वहाँ भी पशुओं के साथ 'मानवीय' व्यवहार करने के लिए कुछ न कुछ नियम थे।[1] A number of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers advocate for vegetarianism and kindness toward animals.[2] The ancient Indian philosopher Valluvar (1st century BCE) writes an exclusive chapter on moral vegetarianism in his work Tirukkural, insisting strictly on a plant-based diet, with separate chapters on ahimsa (or non-harming) and non-killing.[3][4] Vivisection for scientific and medical purposes begins in ancient Greece.[5] Under the influence of Buddhism, a ban on meat-eating is instated in Japan.[6]
1600–1800 Philosophers take up the question of animals and their treatment, some arguing that they are sentient beings who deserve protection.[7][8][9] The first modern animal protection laws are passed in Ireland and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.[10]
1800–1914 British Parliament passes the first national animal protection legislation, and the first animal protection and vegetarian organizations form in the U.S. and U.K..[11] The American and British anti-vivisection movements grow in the late 19th century, culminating in the Brown Dog affair and declining sharply thereafter. The Japanese taboo against meat-eating dies out under the Meiji Restoration.[उद्धरण चाहिए]
1914–1966 The use of animals grows tremendously with the beginning of intensive animal agriculture in the 1920s[12] and the increasing role of animal experimentation in science and cosmetics. Media coverage of animal abuses spurs concern over animal welfare in the U.S. and U.K., and helping bring about the first federal animal welfare legislation in the U.S.[13][14] The theoretical possibility of in vitro animal products is recognized.[15]
1966– Consumption of intensively farmed animal products booms worldwide, with global meat production rising from approximately 78 million tons in 1963 to 308 million tons in 2014.[16] In the US and Europe, books, documentaries, and media coverage of controversies surrounding animal cruelty boost the animal rights and welfare movements,[17][18][19][20] while destructive direct actions by groups like the Animal Liberation Front draw public rebuke and government crackdown.[21][22] Research on in vitro animal products gains traction,[15] resulting in the first in vitro meats.[23][24] Beginning in the late 1980s, Europe takes the lead in animal welfare reform.[21] In the West and some other countries, public interest in animal welfare, animal rights, and plant-based diets increases significantly.[25][26][27][28]

She said "a special aim was to induce kindness, sympathy, and an understanding treatment of horses".[36] In many respects the book can be read as a guide to horse husbandry, stable management and humane training practices for colts.[37] It is considered to have had an effect on reducing cruelty to horses; for example, the use of bearing reins, which are particularly painful for a horse, was one of the practices highlighted in the novel, and in the years after the book's release the reins became less popular and fell out of favor.[38][37] Flag of the United Kingdom
