Sponsorship and Organisation
The Conference was sponsored and organised on behalf of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics by the League Against Cruel Sports, the premier society in the United Kingdom opposed to cruelty inflicted on animals for recreational purposes. The League's aim in sponsoring the Conference was to enable people to better understand the nature of animal abuse, the motivation that leads to cruel acts and the implications for human as well as animal welfare. The League believes that this understanding is essential to help inform social and legal policy.
