DESCRIPTION:Animals played a central role in the history of transatlantic 
 slavery that has only recently attracted scholarly interest. Of vital impo
 rtance to plantation agriculture\, animals were also key to other aspects 
 of slavery and the process of enslavement. Horses played a crucial part in
  the African warfare that supplied slaves and sharks were a useful instrum
 ent of terror for the captains of slavers to overawe their crew and human 
 cargo. A small but significant trade in exotic animals\, especially birds\
 , was conducted by slave traders in parallel with their main business\, an
 d pets were important companions in Britain’s slaveholding colonies for 
 both black and white. Dogs were a source of pleasure as well as workers in
  their own right: notoriously bred and used to hunt runaway slaves\, they 
 also served to combat vermin infestation on cane fields and offered protec
 tion from intruders and thieves.
