Abstract

Throughout history, war has been one of the major ways humans have resolved their disputes, and humans have
often used animals during times of war. The failure to treat and deliver adequate care to animals wounded during the South African
War was drawn attention of societies on the protection of animals against cruelty and led to the intensification of efforts to establish an
association, with a status similar to that of the “Red Cross,” which would provide healthcare services and aid to animals on the
battlefield. After protracted correspondence and made efforts, the Red Star (
Etoile Rouge), The International Alliance of Societies to
Aid Animals on the Battlefield was officially established on February 22, 1915. A red pentagram on a white background was chosen
as the insignia, and the organization adopted the motto,
Mercy among Arms. In this study, retrospective method was used in order to
investigate the historical development of the practice all use of “Red Cross” protection for wounded animals, based on a document
retrieved from the personal archive of the Veterinarian, Emin Çölaşan. As a result, it can be argued that "The International Alliance of
Societies to Aid Animals on the Battlefield" has not been able to carry out intended activities due to various problems. However, it can
be said that this initiative was provide an international basis for the activities of local animal protection associations.
