Henry Shakespear Stephens Salt was an English writer and campaigner for social reform in the fields of prisons, schools, economic institutions, and the treatment of animals. He was a noted ethical vegetarian, anti-vivisectionist, socialist, and pacifist, and was a literary critic, biographer, classical scholar and naturalist. Salt is considered by some to be the "father of animal rights", having been one of the first writers to argue explicitly in favour of animal rights, rather than just improvements to animal welfare in his Animals' Rights: Considered in Relation to Social Progress. He formed the Humanitarian League in 1891
