Alice Drakoules

Alice Marie Drakoules (née Lambe; other married name Lewis; c. 1850 – 15 January 1933) was a British philanthropist and activist.

[2] She supported the Vegetarian's Special Mission Fund and inspired James Burns's "Pure Food" campaign in 1889.

[3] Drakoules was a founding member of the executive council of the Animal Defence and Anti-Vivisection Society, established by Louise Lind af Hageby in 1906.

She was a keen supporter of the society, helping it campaign for licensed slaughterhouses, humane slaughter, and for an end to performing animals.

[6] Four years after Drakoules' death, her friends arranged for a monument to be constructed in St John's Wood churchyard, which includes a wide range of sculpted animals.
