LAW10487 - Animal LawInformation for students studying in 2013

Please contact the School of Law and Justice to confirm details prior to acting on this information.

Unit Description

Animal law is one of the fastest growing areas of law in Australia. Law has a significant role in influencing the ways in which humans relate to, and interact with, non-human animals. This unit considers the legal and philosophical assumptions relating to human-animal interactions, the history and present status of animals as property, and the legal regulatory frameworks governing a variety of human-animal interactions in Australia. As humans increasingly accept that the protection of animals from cruelty and other forms of exploitation is important, an understanding of the application of legal frameworks relating to animals is crucial. Predicated on the view that current protections relating to animals are inadequate, there is a strong emphasis on law reform and activism and upon practical ways in which concerned animal advocates may advance the interests of, and legal protections provided to, animals.
