By using this research methodology as the first source, enabled me to access opinion data, scientific information, and historic examples. This method provided the most effective and valuable information for determining who set the animal right laws, how they are enforced in Australia, and community opinions regarding the subject. Additionally, the validity of the internet sources was due to the in-depth explanation that was obtained from each source which developed the groundwork for the key findings. For example, in both the South Australian Animal Welfare Regulations document and Inspectorate Services of the RSPCA site, information was obtained elucidating that the RSPCA is the major animal right law enforcer and they possess the power to enter private property and seize animals. By analysing opinion data from a variety of sources I developed my ethical understanding by accepting the motivations of others and eliminating any opinion of my

Animal Registration plays an important role in this document, it allows councils to encourage responsible pet ownership in the registering of their animals, as well as giving council a look into the number of animals in their region. The revenue collected by councils for the enforcement of registering of animal’s plays a significant role in how council provides services to the community which include:

§2143(a) (b) and §2149(b), which are part of the Animal Welfare Act, were enacted so that standards of humane treatment can be given to animals used by research facilities, dealers, and exhibitors. The Animal Welfare Act was passed in 1966 because of the increasing concern about the stealing of dogs and cats for use in research facilities (National Anti-Vivisection Society, 2015).

This act ensured the safety of animals by enforcing all companies to have licenses for their "practices". The animal that was put on that list are dogs, cats, hamsters, monkeys,

“Hormone-free”, “organic”, “grass-fed”, and “natural” are labels that animal and plant producers use to inform consumers of what they are eating. These claims are misleading and usually increase the prices of those products. By increasing the price and sticking a label that reads “natural” makes consumers think that this product is better for them. Animal Welfare Approved gives an example of an egg carton boasting the statement that its eggs are “natural.” This statement can legally come from an industrial farm where the hens do not forage the way a chicken does “naturally.” According to the USDA, farms have to get organic certifications and accreditations in order to sell, label, and represent their products as organic. It is difficult to

These first investigate the complaints of animal cruelty and neglect in the area. Most of the time, the inspector’s only need to give out advice and assistance to people who need help in looking after their pets. Now and again though, there are some very serious cases of animal cruelty which need to be investigated further to protect the animals and prosecute the abuser(s).

The Animal Welfare Act was created to not only to determine what can be done to the animals, but also to regulate the trading and care of the animals being tested on ("TRANSPORTATION, SALE, AND HANDLING OF CERTAIN ANIMALS."). The Animal Welfare Act also ensures that anyone

The National Farm Animal Care Council has a code of practice for the care and handling of equine that was published in 2013. This code covers all breeds/types of horses, donkeys, ponies, and mules. The code focuses on proper care of equine, and offers recommendations, or minimum requirements for maintaining the welfare for all equine in all different situations. Animal welfare is categorized into five freedoms that animals have. True West Paints maintains all five freedoms for their horses, these freedoms include: being free from hunger and thirst, distress/fear, pain/disease, discomfort, and have the ability to express normal behaviour.

First, the Animal Welfare act established in 1966 states that animals involved in research, exhibition, transport, and dealers must be taken care of with minimal standards. Companies across the world have been treating animals with anything but care.

Each year, the most extreme cases of animal abuse receive media attention. Yet, the animal cruelty problem is more widespread than is reported in the media. Animal abuse and neglect is a nationwide issue, affecting thousands of animals nationwide. Cruelty to animals is defined as the infliction of physical pain, suffering or death on an animal, beyond what is necessary. There is a need to stop abusers from acting in such a horrific manner–preventing the neglect and suffering of the animals. What causes animal abusers to act in such a cruel way towards animals? How are cases of animal abuse being managed, and how should cases be handled? Finally, does the status of animals in society contribute to the rate of their abuse?

     The regulations, such as the Animal Welfare Act, which ensures that animal, care for research is a main priority. The AWA requires appropriate veterinary care, housing, feeding, handling, sanitation, ventilation, and sheltering. Also, in that act the Animal and Plant Health

The world has existed with the presence of both living and non-living matter. Human beings have been accorded the right of protection and preservation of the environment, where the animals belong. In essence, humanity is all about coexisting with animals and plants, together with the other non-living matter. With preference of human beings over animals, and with preference of animals over plants, every category higher than the other, is relinquishing the capacity to dominate and coexist with the higher authority. The world is evidently a home to both plants and animals, including the non-living matter. All animals are living. Moreover, all plants are living. The distinction between human beings and other animals has led to the establishment of a code of relationship and use which human beings has embraced over the years. Human beings have dominion over animals. This is in accordance with the innate characteristics and capabilities that human beings possess unlike other animals (Hargrove 168). With respect to this, human beings have often used animals in assorted ways. The many ways that animals are beneficial to human beings has elicited concerns over the rights of animals. Because of this, there is an ethical relationship between plants and animals, together with animals and man.

For many years now the world has seen controversy over the rights of animals and if they think and feel like humans do. Many people see animals as mindless creatures or as food, while others think they have emotions and can feel pain. In other countries animal protection laws are in place that are strictly enforced and seem to work well with the system. In the United States however; some of the animal rights laws are considered to be useless and under-enforced (Animal Legal & Historical Center). More people today are beginning to see that animals should have rights and should be protected by laws and regulations (Animal Legal & Historical Center). Sadly there are many people residing in the United States who don’t take animal rights or protection laws seriously. These people abuse animals in many ways, including food industries that disobey the regulations set in place for the slaughter of animals used for consumption. Luckily for the animals there are people who fight for their rights and the enforcement of laws called animal rights activists.

Many owners regard their pets as children. There are an unsurmountable amount of laws regarding the treatment and wellbeing of a child. However, because these animals are seen as personal property, the same type of effort has not been placed forth for the “fur babies”. Laws are instituted for the protection of humanity; however, this planet is shared with many other species who deserve even the simplest of protections. Legislation focuses heavily on the proper care and treatment of pigs, sheep, and cows; but, not man’s best friend?
