We are pleased to share that Javier González Cortés, a PhD student in History, has published an article in the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo titled "La primera sociedad protectora de animales en Colombia."
Timed to coincide with the 137th anniversary of the speech given on January 15, 1888, during the inauguration of Colombia’s first society for the protection of animals, this piece analyzes the significance of that moment and traces a few changes that have happened since then. Javier sheds light on lesser-known details about the Society, contributing to the ongoing conversation about the history of animal protection in Latin America and the Caribbean. This brief yet insightful read adds an important layer to our understanding of animal advocacy in the region.
