Maddie's Fund - A Protocoled Response to Dog and Cat Diarrhea in a Shelter Setting

, April 2014 Originally published January 2013 and updated April 2014. (This information is intended to be educational in nature.

Animal Legal Defense Fund : Animal Protection Laws of the United States of America and Canada

This eleventh edition of the Animal Protection Laws compendium contains the general animal protection and related statutes for all of the states, principal districts and territories of the United States of America, and for all of Canada. In Canada, the federal government enacts all criminal laws, which are applicable throughout the country.

The provinces and territories of Canada may enact quasi-criminal offenses and laws in other subject areas, and have jurisdiction over most criminal and civil matters. The compendium is organized into separate documents for each jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions may employ similar provisions within other non-animal-specific criminal and civil statutes; may have other more specific statutes in addition to those included; and may have a variety of animal-related regulations in effect.

Detailed Discussion of International Comparative Animal Cruelty Laws

Introduction Animal laws vary from one country to the next. What one country may value as life, another values only as property. This leads to fundamental differences in the existing laws designed to protect animals. An animal's moral status, be it sentient being or machine, inevitably determines how an animal will be viewed in the eyes of the law. Aristotle's philosophy included a hierarchy. The Bible is another source of our society's current status of animals. Another argument for the use of animals without moral consequence comes for the largely Aristotelian belief that human beings are the only beings with a rational soul. These religious beliefs and philosophies have paved the path for our current legal system as it relates to animals. Contemporary philosophers such as Jeremy Bentham have argued that the question is not can animals reason, but can they suffer?

This poorly understood problem appears to be associated with substantial mental health difficulties.
