Animal rights legislation
Animal rights legislation refers to laws and regulations aimed at protecting the welfare and rights of animals. These laws can address issues like animal cruelty, exploitation, and habitat protection. They often set standards for humane treatment, regulate industries (like farming, research, and entertainment), and promote conservation. The goal is to ensure animals live free from suffering and have their basic needs met. Different countries may have varying levels of protection, reflecting societal values and ethical considerations regarding the treatment of animals.
