@LSCV es una Liga Antivivisección surgida en Ginebra en 1883, siguiendo la estela de la liga inglesa fundada por #FrancesPowerCobbe unos años antes. A día de hoy siguen trabajando contra la experimentación y los derechos de los animales no humanos.

@Irishphilosophy ooh thank you for posting about Frances Power Cobbe.
She lived with another woman for 32 years, attended the local #Unitarian church, edited the collected works of Theodore Parker in 12 volumes, and was a co-founder of the British Union Against Vivisection. There’s a plaque to her memory at Harris Manchester College, Oxford (in the corridor between the chapel and the library).

"I happen to be able to recall precisely the day, almost the hour, when the blight fell on the potatoes [...]
As we passed a remarkably fine field of potatoes in blossom, the scent came through the open windows of the carriage and we remarked to each other how splendid was the crop. Three
or four hours later, as we returned home in the dark, a dreadful smell came from the same field"
