Do animals have legal rights? This pioneering book tells readers everything they need to know about animal rights law.
Using straightforward examples from over 30 legal systems from both the civil and common law traditions, and based on popular courses run by the authors at the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights, the book takes the reader from the earliest anticruelty laws to modern animal welfare laws, to recent attempts to grant basic rights and personhood to animals. To help readers understand this legal evolution, it explains the ethics, legal theory, and social issues behind animal rights and connected topics such as property, subjecthood, dignity, and human rights.
The book's companion website (bloomsbury.pub/animalrightslaw) provides access to briefs on the latest developments in this fastchanging area, and gives readers the tools to investigate their own legal systems with a list of key references to the latest cases, legislation, and jurisdictionspecific bibliographic references.
Rich in exercises and study aids, this easytouse introduction is a prime resource for students from all disciplines and for anyone else who wants to understand how animals are protected by the law.
