Overview
This is the premier casebook on animal law, a rapidly developing field which is, in its simples sense, a combination of statutory and decisional law in which the nature of nonhuman animals is an important factor. Animal law as presented in this book is not synonymous with "animal rights" or with any particular political, moral, or ethical agenda. Rather it is an objective and logical specialization of a challenging area.
