description: Animal law is a mixed bag of rules which vary from state to state, and certainly internationally. Advances were indeed made during the twentieth century in the ways humans constrain their conduct toward other species. Animal law is the chronicle of how men and women evidence their concern for the welfare of animals, and this handbook provides a ready orientation to this aspect of animal rights. Although the lawyer may find this text useful to give a summary overview of the principal trends in the laws governing animals and their treatment, it is the non-lawyer who will find the book to be one of great value. There are very few surveys of animal law available to the public. Dan Moretti and Oceana Publications provide a useful service in writing and in publishing this study. [From the Preface]
