description: "Lewis Gompertz was an English philosopher, writer, inventor, and social reformer associated with early animal protection in Britain. Born into a Jewish family of London diamond merchants, he argued that killing or using animals for human purposes was morally wrong. He avoided animal products and other goods derived from animals, a practice later described as an early form of veganism."
