This legacy of entrenched beliefs about the human right to exploit other animal species is yet to be defeated. Throughout the 19th century animals were integrated into staged scenarios of confrontation, ranging from lion acts in small cages to large-scale re-enactments of war. Initially presenting a handful of exotic animals, travelling menageries grew to contain multiple species in their thousands. These 19th-century menageries entrenched beliefs about the human right to exploit nature through war-like practices against other animal species. Animal shows became a stimulus for antisocial behaviour as locals taunted animals, caused fights, and even turned into violent mobs. Human societal problems were difficult to separate from issues of cruelty to animals. 410 0$aAnimal publics (Series) 606 $aAnimals in the performing arts$xSocial aspects 606 $aHuman-animal relationships$y19th century 606 $aExotic animals$xSocial aspects 606 $aAnimals and civilization$y19th century 606 $aAnimal welfare$xSocial aspects$y19th century 615 0$aAnimals in the performing arts$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships 615 0$aExotic animals$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAnimals and civilization 615 0$aAnimal welfare$xSocial aspects 676 $a791.8023 700 $aTait$b Peta$f1953-$0856115 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213854203321 996 $aFighting nature$92053194 997 $aUNINA
