- Summary:
- This is a survey of how different countries and cultures view animals, how laws concerning the treatment of animals are made, and how those laws may be in conflict with the majority of a culture's beliefs and practices. Laws are enacted through power. Lobbyists for agri-business, as well as animal rights groups influence such laws. This book runs the gamut on how animals are treated in different countries as pets, food, entertainment, test subjects and exhibitions. The viewpoint clearly favors the humane treatment of animals, while looking at laws made by corporations concerned with making a profit. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
