Description
An examination of the law relating to animals, in the UK and with consideration to European and international law, from the perspective of policy, society, philosophy, history and economics.
Animal Law leads us through the development of animals in society and how they have featured in the law from a historical perspective to illustrate the passage of animal's status up to the present.
As well as setting animal law in context, the book looks at specific practical instances of animals in law – animals in rented property, dangerous dogs, puppy farming, animal testing, and animals in zoo.
A global picture is examined by looking at the law relating to international trade, illegal animal trading, environmental protections and habitat loss.
Animal law students and practitioners, as well as animal welfarists and ethicists will find this book a valuable resource.
