Salt and Bernard Shaw is a collection of essays critiquing the ethics of blood-sports, published in the early 20th century. This volume, associated with the Humanitarian League, focuses on the moral dilemmas posed by sports that involve cruelty to animals, presenting arguments against such practices from multiple viewpoints. The authors delve into subjects such as fox hunting, big game hunting, and the economics surrounding these activities, arguing for a reconsideration of societal values regarding the treatment of animals. At the start of the collection, the preface by George Bernard Shaw sets the tone by discussing the complexities and moral contradictions of sport. Shaw highlights the harsh realities of blood-sports and challenges the reader to confront their emotional responses to the hunting of animals, questioning the justification of pleasure derived from such activities. The essays that follow, including those by various writers, explore the implications of sport not only on animal welfare but also on socio-economic structures and individual morality, advocating for a movement towards more humane practices in leisure time and a greater awareness of the ethical implications involved.
