Legal Research Guides by Course - Animal Law
Course Description
This course will be a thorough analysis of the federal and state laws pertaining to animals in the United States as well as an overview of current international animal laws. A particular emphasis will be based on the historical and current links between humans and animals and how laws are developed to protect the interactions between the two groups. Animals are viewed worldwide in different contexts, with varying cultures holding independent views of what constitutes appropriate care and ownership of animals. Insensitivity to cultural beliefs and advocacy for animals often leads emotional and even physical confrontations in lieu of more productive efforts aimed at legislating protections encompassing all human and all animals.
