This is an important book.” Drucilla Cornell, Professor of Women’s Studies and Law, Rutgers University.

Gandhi, Meneka, Ozair Husain and Raj Panjwani Animal Laws of India Delhi: University Law Publishing, 1996 KNS1517 .A28 “The law, effectively harnessed, can become the most potent weapon in the fight against animal abuse and exploitation. Interpreted with courage and compassion, it can extend the maximum protection to living beings that cannot speak or fight for themselves. “Animals are an integral part of the Indian economy and ecology. In their protection lies our own survival. Yet Animal Law has remained a largely neglected arena with few people even aware of the existence of codes that govern our use of animals. As a result, animals in our country have suffered enormous violence victimization. “To bring about the ethical treatment of animals it is necessary to make Animal Law both familiar and accessible. The book is a first step in that direction. It is a comprehensive compilation of the law as it applies to draught, domestic, wild, experimental, meat, performing, and even pet animals. It is designed to provide the layperson with a fundamental understanding and working knowledge of these laws as well as equip the expert with a clear, concise, easily referred-to resource. It is a practical handbook that shows you what you can do when you see an overloaded bullock cart, a performing monkey or ivory on sale. Its purpose is to empower the citizens of India to use the strength of the law to protect animals against human greed and cruelty. It is a must-have manual for all those who wish to sustain informed campaigns in defense of these voiceless victims.” Grandin, Temple and Catherine Johnson Animals in Translation (on order) Guither, Harold D.

People Promoting and People Opposing Animal Rights: In Their Own Words Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 2002 HV 4708 P46 From the Introduction: “The purpose of this book is to bring together representatives from many sides of the animal-rights debate, so that students and researchers can see a variety of personalities and points of view in a single printed volume. Dozens of polemical writings are produced each year on animal-rights issues, in journals and in books, presenting their arguments persuasively for one opinion or another. Unfortunately, very few publications have attempted to provide personal perspectives from these activists. This is the first work of its kind, based on collecting interviews with identical questions asked of all participants, so that their responses may be compared and contrasted.” Participants Carol J. Adams, Ron Arnold, David Barbarash, Don Barnes, Gene Bauston, Marc Bekoff, Brian Bishop, Robert Cohen, Priscilla Cohn, Karen Coyne, Diana Dawne, Ryan DeMares, Sherrill Durbin, Michael Fox, Milton Freeman, Margery Glickman, Kimber Gorall, Alan Herscovici, Alex Hershaft, J.R.

Q2: How did you become involved in animal rights issues? Was it a single event, or a gradual process that started you down the path toward activism? Q3: What are one or two issues that you spend the most time on? Why do you care so much about this (or these) issues? Why should other people also care about this? Q4: What are your short-term and long-term strategies for achieving your goals? What do you do exactly, on a regular basis, toward these goals? Write? Research? Education? Protest? Q5: What is your ultimate goal on this issue? When could you say, “we have succeeded”? Q6: Do you work closely with any formal groups or organizations? Which one(s)? Q7: What groups or types of people do you consider to be “the opposition”? Q8: Whom do you admire the most, or who inspires you? Name one or two, modern or ancient heroes you have? Q9: Is religion or spirituality a part of your life? Does this religion (or lack of it) help, motivate, or hinder your work? Q10: Would you describe a very funny or very strange experience that you have had in your work as an activist? Q11: What advice would you give to a person just starting into animal rights (or opposing-animalrights) activism? What important lessons have you learned; or mistakes you made, that others might learn from? Q12: Do you have anything to add to these questions that might be helpful to readers?

City of Hialeah] with more twists and turns, bizarre subplots, and eccentric characters than a classics whodunit. The outline of the story seems clear enough. Ernesto Pichardo, a Cuban immigrant in the 1960s and a self-styled priest of Santeria, sets up a new church in Florida. The sect is an old one, fusing Afro-Cuban ancestor worship, African rituals, and Roman Catholic saints, but Pichardo’s version of it emphasizes its African religious roots and universal truths. Central to these are ritual sacrifices of animals to propitiate the orishas, African ancestral deities. But Pichardo is not of African ancestry, and from its inception his church faces criticism from other adherents of Santeria, the Cuban community, and animal rights advocates.” Regan, Tom Defending Animal Rights Chicago, Illinois: University of Illinois Press, 2001 HV 4711 R366 Regan, Tom Empty Cages: Facing the Challenge of Animal Rights Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2004 HV 4764 R44 Regan, Tom The Struggle for Animal Rights Clarks Summit, PA: International Society of Animal Rights, Inc., 1987 HV 4764 R45 Includes an Introduction by Colman McCarthy.

Silverstein, Helena Unleashing Rights: Law, Meaning, and the Animal Rights Movement Ann Arbor, Michigan: The University of Michigan Press, 1996 HV 4708 S555 “This book examines the relationship between law, social movement activism, and social change by focusing on the animal rights movement’s efforts to advance social reform through the deployment of legal language and practices. Silverstein looks at how prevailing understandings of rights language have shaped the attempt to put forth the idea that animals have rights, and how this attempt, in turn, offers the opportunity to reconsider the meaning of rights. She also analyzes how litigation has influenced the movement’s activities and opportunities for success. She concludes that despite their many constraints, both rights talk and litigation are powerful resources for those who seek change, especially when used by strategically minded activists.” Law and Security Inquiry, Fall, 1996, BOOK NOTES.

Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions New York: Oxford University Press, 2004 HV 4708 A56 Tester, Keith Animals and Society: The Humanity of Animal Rights New York: Routledge, 1991 HV 4705 T47 This book “uses a variety of historical sources and a coherent social theory to tell the story of the invention of animal rights. It moves from incidents like the medieval execution of pigs to a discussion of the politics and strategies of modern animal rights organizations. The book also presents radical interpretations of nineteenth-century animal welfare laws, and the accounts of the Noble Savage. The insights generated by social science are always at the core of the discussion and the author draws on the work of Michael Foucault, Norbert Elias and Claude Levi-Strauss and Mary Douglas.” Varner, Gary E. In Nature’s Interests? Interests, Animal Rights, and Environmental Ethics New York: Oxford University Press, 1998 GE 42 V38 From the book jacket: “This thought-provoking book is a carefully argues response to what author Gary Verner [Associate Professor of Philosophy at Texas A&M University] characterizes as ‘two dogmas of environmentalism’: the assumptions that animal rights philosophies and anthropocentric views are each antithetical to sound environmental policy. Beginning from the view that all and only entities with interests have moral standing, Varner defends a biocentric individualistic stance with affinities to both animal rights and anthropocentric views. He argues that every living organism has interests which ought, other things being equal, to be protected, but that some interests take priority over others. In particular, he defends sentientist principle giving priority to the lives of animals with conscious desires and an anthropocentric principle giving priority to certain very inclusive interests which only humans have. He then shows that these principles are not only consistent with, but provide significant support for, the goals of the environmental agenda. Along the way, Varner surveys problems facing attempts to develop a holistic environmental ethic, provides a careful analysis of the notion of desire and its scope in the animal kingdom, and improves upon available arguments for the claim that nonconscious organism possess morally significant interests.” Waisman, Sonia S., et al.

Law Review Articles ARTICLES FROM ANIMAL LAW Although its contents are itemized below (with a few abstracts from the journal), an excellent place to begin research on animal law issues is by perusing the individual issues of the journal Animal Law, “the nation’s first law journal devoted exclusively to animalrelated issues.” Animal Law is published by the students of Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College in response to the need for legal scholarship concerning animal issues. Its inaugural issue came out in 1995. For more information, contact: Animal Law 10015 S.W.

The symposium featured speakers with expertise on chimpanzees, as well as legal scholars and lawyers who discussed the possibility of obtaining legal rights for chimpanzees and other great apes. This symposium sought to advance the argument that chimpanzees are entitled to some degree of legal status, and the speakers presented a range of views about how far such legal rights should extend.

Recovery of Common Law damages for Emotional Distress, Loss of Society, and Loss of Companionship for the Wrongful Death of a Companion Animal. ANIMAL LAW, v. 4, p.33 (1998) The author is President, center for the Expansion of Fundamental Rights, Inc. in Boston; Adjunct Professor, Vermont Law School (teaching Animal Rights Law since 1990); Lecturer, Masters Program in Animals and Public Policy, Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. “The ‘animals as property’ syllogism arbitrarily, irrationally, unfairly, and formalistically limits recovery of noneconomic damages for the wrongful deaths of companion animals. It ignores the fact that the relationship between a human and his companion animal is no more based upon economics than is any other family relationship. It perversely permits the award of damages for an economic loss that a human companion does not suffer and refuses to compensate for the emotional distress and the loss of society and companionship that he actually does suffer. The failure to recognize the reality of the relationship that exists between human companions and companion animals may also lead to a failure to permit damages for the emotional distress that a human companion suffers upon witnessing the circumstances of a companion animal’s wrongful death. “The claims of humans for the emotional distress they suffer after witnessing the wrongful killing of their companion animals and from the emotional distress and loss of companionship they suffer from the loss itself should be evaluated as are any other damages for tortuous injury. If human companions of companion animals are not compensated for the injuries they actually suffer, and no rational, fair, and sufficiently weighty policy considerations can justify this refusal, the overarching principle of full compensation for tortuous injury will be undermined by an irrationality and arbitrariness that should no t be part of the common law.” OTHER ARTICLES Bratspies, Rebecca M.

Toward A Non-Property Status of Animals NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW JOURNAL, vol. 6. p. 531 (1998) The author, an Associate Professor of Law at the Whittier Law School, writes “This Article will demonstrate that, under the traditional methodology for modification of the common law, all of the factors suggestive of a need for change in the status of animals as property presently exist. Thus, it is an appropriate time for the judiciary to take an evolutionary step in the development of the common law and remove animals from their status as mere property. “In addition, the Article makes a proposal for the direction of this evolutionary stride, arguing that animals should be viewed not as property but as the holders of the fundamental rights necessary to fulfill their nature—their telos…” The author concludes, “…Once this proposition is accepted, the content of animals’ rights can be developed as society progresses toward recognizing the interests of animals. Ultimately we will have what might be termed an Animals’ bill of Rights. We now require only the courage of our jurists to press in the direction required under our inherited notions of the common law.” Wise, Steven M. The Legal Thinghood of Nonhuman Animals BOSTON COLLEGE ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS LAW REVIEW, vol. 23, no. 3, pgs 471-546, (1996) Abstract: Giving non-human animals a legal thinghood stems from the moist primitive legal systems. This arose from ancient hierarchical cosmologies and the triumph of man-centered Biblical law over the secular, utilitarian law of Mesopotamia. Only in the 18th century did the discrediting of these theocentric, hierarchical cosmologies start, yet many still reject Darwinism, believe in hierarchical cosmologies and regard animals as property. The law should liberate at least some of the nonhuman animals from the legal thinghood and give them some of the rights of legal personhood. Francione, Gary L. Animals, Property and Legal Welfarism: “Unnecessary” Suffering and the “Humane” Treatment of Animals RUTGERS LAW REVIEW, vol. 46, no. 2, pgs. 721-770, Winter (1994) Grey, Marilyn Animal Testing and the Law ANIMALS’ AGENDA, May, p. 39, 47 (1991) Frye v. United States in 1923 established the legal precedent supporting the admissibility of animal test data in cases involving humans. More recently, cases have demonstrated significant failure of animal test data. Courts have ruled “studies to be inclusive” (Wells v. Ortho Pharmaceutical), “speculative… unconvincing… not solid scientific date” (UAW v. Johnson Controls), and “not helpful in the instant case because they involve different species” (Agent Orange Produce Liability). Chronic Toxicity Studies determine cancer risk, but high levels used would rarely, if ever, be found in humans, and courts are accordingly skeptical of CTS information. IN lynch v. Merrell National Labs, the court ruled: “There is no evidence that Lynch was exposed to the types of animal studies…are therefore inadmissible in opinion nor create a genuine issue for trial.” In Richardson v. Richardson-Merrell Inc. and Berhardt v. RichardsonMerrell the court ruled that extrapolating animal data to explain human effects was too theoretical to meet the requirements of legal proof.

Felthous Childhood Cruelty toward Animals among Criminals and Noncriminals HUMAN RELATIONS, Vol. 38, issue 12, p. 1113-1129 (1985) “This paper examines the relationship between childhood cruelty toward animals and aggressive behavior among criminals and noncriminals in adulthood. “Data were derived from personal interviews with 152 criminals and noncriminals in Knasas and Connecticut. A standardized, closed, and open-ended interview, requiring approximately 1-2 hours to complete, was administered to all subjects. Aggressiveness was defined by behavioral criteria rather than by reason for incarceration. “Childhood cruelty toward animals occurred to a significantly greater degree among aggressive criminals than among nonaggressive criminals or noncriminals. Additionally, the occurrence of more than 40 cases of extreme animal cruelty facilitated the development of a preliminary classification of nine distinct motivations for animal cruelty. Finally, family violence, particularly paternal abuse and alcoholism, were significantly more common among aggressive criminals with a history of childhood cruelty toward animals.” Joyce Tischler Rights For Nonhuman Animals: A Guardianship Model for Dogs and Cats 14 SAN DIEGO LAW REVIEW 484 (1977) IV.

Glickman, involving a roadside zoo that allegedly neglected a chimpanzee’s psychological well-being will be argued later in October, 1999. The article also credits San Francisco lawyer Derek St. Pierre as one of the two students who successfully lobbied for an animal law course at U.C., Hastings, making that school the first in the San Francisco Bay Area to offer such a course. St. Pierre files briefs on behalf of the Mill Valley based In Defense of Animals. One of their cases is the deceased willed that his Cadillac car should be crushed and his horses killed after his death; St. Pierre “argued that animals, unlike a Cadillac, were not mere property, and that Anglo-American law ‘creates an artificial dualism’ between persons and property. Probate Judge Susan Fowler agreed, and cited St. Pierre’s argument in her decision to save the horses.” The article also goes into some detail on the legislative history of the proposed change to San Francisco’s law, with comments from both those who support and oppose the insertion of “guardian” into the city’s health code, a change approved by 5-1 vote of the San Francisco Commission for Animal Control and Welfare.
