The law relating to animals is a consistent subject of reform, and serious cases involving animal interests are launched daily in the courts. As humans begin to exhibit greater concern about the treatment of animals, the law is responding, and the issues surrounding this treatment are becoming more complex. Australian, New Zealand and international academics and practitioners cover a range of topics, including: animal welfare codes, animal cruelty sentencing, and laws on live animal export, hunting, and commercial uses of animals such as farming and research. This is the first book to focus on the law relating to animals from a distinctly Australasian perspective. This book, covering Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions, is structured in four parts:
