What Is Animal Law?
"Animal Law is the field of law that seeks to govern the interactions between human and nonhuman animals. It covers a diverse array of domestic and international legal issues, arising in statutory, judicial, executive, regulatory and theoretical contexts."
Layman's Guide to the World of Animal Protection Law
"Animal protection laws are mainly focused on benefiting human interests over those of the animals based on the long-standing view that they have been generally judged as property, objects or chattels with no rights.

"Animal protection laws are mainly focused on benefiting human interests over those of the animals based on the long-standing view that they have been generally judged as property, objects or chattels with no rights. This is something called ‘legitimate human interests’ whereby consideration is given to a law’s impact on all the different groups whose financial or social interests might be adversely affected by its introduction, particularly in the case of science and farming."

Here, we can think of the future in the terms of three or so decades.

In "What Can Animal Law Learn From Environmental Law?" (Environmental Law Institute Press, 2d ed., 2020), Professor Abate has assembled an experienced team of 36 academics, advocates, and legal professionals from the environmental and animal law fields to examine the experiences of these two fields. Drawing on lessons from history, politics, and law, the 29-chapter book examines how environmental law’s successes in several key areas such as enforcement, use of the public trust doctrine, impact assessments, and international law protections can help propel animal law’s objectives and how the two fields can work together on topics such as climate change and food law and policy.

What is the Difference between Animal Rights and Animal Welfare?
"Animal welfare refers to an animal’s quality of life and how well an animal is coping with their environment.

"Animal welfare refers to an animal’s quality of life and how well an animal is coping with their environment. This approach is rooted in science and makes judgements based on observable facts about animal suffering.....Animal rights, on the other hand, is a philosophy which posits that no animals should be used by humans for any reason. This includes for food, labor, and entertainment, among other ways animals are used in modern society. Animal rights activists, then, have a specific goal in mind: Ending the use of animals by humans. "

Dr. Sean Butler, Director of the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law explains what is meant by the term, animal rights law and he explains how that differs from animal welfare law, and the limits that are inherent in animal welfare laws. He also explains the new paradigm and the new way of thinking about how animals can be thought of and respected by giving them rights as individuals. This would include not killing them, respecting their rights to exist as individuals and recognizing the animals autonomy and ability to make choices for themselves. The practice of taking calves away from their mothers, which is done throughout the dairy industry to maximize production would be prohibited if animals individual rights were truly being respected.

'Many people call themselves animal lovers and say they want animals to be treated well. But not every animal lover opposes using animals for human purposes, whether that be food, textiles or laboratory experiments. That contrast illustrates the basic difference between animal rights and animal welfare, both of which have long been a subject of philosophical and often emotional public debate."
