Basic Animal Rights Issues
Meat, Animal Agriculture and Veganism
With nine billion animals being slaughtered for human consumption in the US every year, animal agriculture is the biggest issue in the animal rights movement today. Campaigns focus on abolishing specific cruel practices as well as advocating veganism.
Vivisection - Dissection, Experimentation and Testing
Vivisection is literally the cutting of a living being, including dissection, medical research, and testing of cosmetics and household products.
Fur
An average of 40 animals is required to make one fur coat. Whether the animal is trapped in the wild, bludgeoned on an ice floe, or bred on a factory farm, fur represents death and suffering.
Animal Law
Not actually a single area of law practice, animal law encompasses a variety of issues, including animal cruelty, pet trusts, custody battles, housing, humane agriculture laws, and wildlife protection.
