- Summary:
- While some animal rights activists are breaking into laboratories to release their animal subjects, others are lobbying legislators to pass more animal protection legislation. Animals and the Law offers a comprehensive overview of legislation intended to protect animals and the issues surrounding it, from laws concerning both domesticated and wild animals to the regulatory agencies that administer them and the organizations that fight for the proper treatment of animals. This jargon-free, reader-friendly volume covers, in a scholarly yet accessible manner, topics such as animals in research, terrorism at research facilities, kosher slaughter, animals in films, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, ritual sacrifice of animals, animal rights organizations, endangered species, the use of animals for human entertainment, and more. Other coverage focuses on landmark legal cases and well-known figures in the movement, from Cleveland Amory and Carol Adams to Roger Caras and Barbara Orlans. For further research, comprehensive appendixes and a bibliography cite important books, monographs, court opinions, specific statutes, and various websites. Animals and the Law is part of ABC-CLIO's Contemporary Legal Issues series, which addresses, in language understandable by the layperson, areas of the law of great relevance and interest to a wide range of readers. Each book contains an introduction to the subject; coverage of legislation, agencies, organizations, events, and individuals; a table of cases; a bibliography; and an index
