The Impact of Black Beauty by Anne Sewell - Book Report/Review Example

 The book made great sales in the making because of its uniqueness in witting by the author, for example, the horse in the first person described the story, and all the major characters were animals. The book has changed the behavior of London Cabmen at the time of its publication since it made him aware of the significance of taking care of animals. It further taught him that, animals also feel pain, hence ought to be taken care of and treated humbly. Previously, the London Cabmen mistreated animals in general especially horses, but after launching of the book, a sense of care to animals was instilled in their minds.

Lastly, the black beauty led to the elimination of the bearing rein. Bearing rein is a piece of a hose track that is placed from a point on the horse’s back, goes towards the head to a bit. It was majorly used to carry human beings in cart or luggage and is currently known as over-check. The object was used to ensure that the horse does not lower its head beyond a fixed point by inflicting pain. This was seen as animal torture and hence, forced to be eliminated from the society (Sewell, 313).
