Date of publication: 01/01/2013Summary:
An extended written text extract that describes the legal status and protection of animals. Peter Sankoff explains the legal issues involved with treating animals as property and how human demands and desires (particularly economic interests) generally overide any significant protection of animal interests. He concludes by explaining how our modified definitions of humane or cruel practices are often used to hide the reality of animal suffering.
