Lewis Gompertz
Lewis Gompertz (1783/4–1861) was an early animal rights advocate, a vegan, and a founding member in June 1824, of the English Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, later the RSPCA.〔Wolf, Lucien and Marsden, Ben. "Lewis Gompertz," ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''.〕 He was the author of ''Moral Inquiries on the Situation of Man and of Brutes'' (1824) and ''Fragments in Defence of Animals'' (1852).〔For the SPCA and the 1824 publication, see Nash, Roderick (1989). ''The Rights of Nature: A History of Environmental Ethics''. University of Wisconsin Press, p. 223.〕
Gompertz acted as the SPCA's second Honorary Secretary prior to resigning in 1833, for reasons related to organizational power struggles and his Judaism. He went on to found the Animals' Friend Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He was opposed to using animals in any way, was an anti-vivisectionist, and refused to ride in horse-drawn carriages.〔
He died from bronchitis in Kennington, London, and was buried in the graveyard of the local church.〔
