The British Pet Holocaust.
It's estimated that nearly 750,000 domesticated animals, mostly cats and dogs, were euthanized in Britain over the course of one week at the start of WWII...
In the summer of 1939, just before the outbreak of war, the National Air Raid Precautions Animals Committee (NARPAC) was formed. It drafted a notice - Advice to Animal Owners.
The advice was printed in almost every newspaper and announced on the BBC
The pamphlet said: "If at all possible, send or take your household animals into the country in advance of an emergency." It concluded: "If you cannot place them in the care of neighbours, it really is kindest to have them destroyed !
"Battersea Dogs and Cats home actually advised against taking such drastic measures and our then manager Edward Healey-Tutt wrote to people asking them not to be too hasty."
This mass slaughter of pets is a tragic, and shameful, episode in British history, that has strangely, in our pet-loving country, largely been forgotten; a closed chapter in British history, and a very sad episode in the “People’s War”. It seems that a collective shame has pushed the tragedy out of people’s minds, as if in the hope that it should never be mentioned again. Many people later regretted killing their pets; and perhaps we should have some sympathy for a nation gripped by a panic that we can only dimly imagine today.
