Abstract

Early, and especially numerous, newspaper publications testify that efforts to protect the animal world are not a novelty of the modern world. Action in this field accelerated with the establishment of societies against animal torture in the first half of the 19th century. Such actions were not small in Slovenia at that time either and were therefore quite well known in the monarchy. The present paper aims to shed light on how and how widely the efforts of this area were echoed in the newspapers, especially in the 19th century, and thus indirectly on its integration into the broader Austrian or German-speaking space.
