how has our view of animals changed since the 1800s?

Answer 1

there are a lot of new ways to cook them now for a better & faster taste then in the 1800"s

Answer 2

I would think the answers pretty obvious.

In the 1800's the species was pretty much an agrarian one, with hunting and gathering being a major pastime.

Certainly there were animals who were "domesticated" and used for byproducts,,, IE: Eggs/Milk, and now most milk cows or good hens, as egg layers wouldn't be slaughtered to feed. In the 1800's we were more a vegitarian society, in some cultures, by situation, not choice, as many of us are today. Meat had to be hunted, not picked out of a fresh meat compartment at a market. The meat that was available for purchase would have been very dicey at best.

Many of our species "keep" them more as pets than as utilitarian beasts, today. Many even clothe and show them.

Activist groups today are as plentiful as grocery markets, and with good cause. In some cultures animals were/are venerated.

Certainly there are still "hunters" and many hunt to provide sport and food. I assume that was the case in the 1800's as well, but hunters outnumbered any "catch and release" thinkers.

We "study" animals on a larger scale today, than ever before, for numerous reasons. I suspect the low level animal studies of the 1800's were scientific as well, but on a more general scale.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Answer 3

Certainly yes!
Now we have a name for ourselves as the member of the animal kingdom - Homo Sapien Sapiens. That should give anyone a good idea of how much it has changed.
