Event Description

Join us at Ross Bay Villa Historic House Museum on Thursday, March 21st at 7:30PM for an exploration of our relationship with the animal world. Amber Fill, Ross Bay Villa Program Coordinator and Uvic Honours History student, presents an illustrated lecture featuring her research into the evolving understanding of the relationship between animals and humans during the 18th and 19th centuries. Moving from a hierarchical view of animals as creatures of servitude toward a more benevolent, sentimental and curious understanding of our fellow sentient beings, these 200 years were pivotal in the reassessment of this important relationship.

From debates during the Enlightenment around the need to minimize animal suffering to the worlds first conviction of an individual in 1838 on a charge of animal cruelty, to costumed companion dogs and cats of the later Victorian era, modern understanding of the moral and emotional value and societal positioning of animals continues to be influenced by this groundbreaking period of western history.

Tickets are $10 and are only available online at http://tinyurl.com/yzfzb583. You must book in advance to reserve your space. All proceeds support the volunteer-based Ross Bay Villa Society, which owns and operates our restored historic home, built in 1865.
