in concert to protective ourselves, our families, business and civil
rights. There are two forms of laws criminal and civil (common).

"Animal
law is
a combination of statutory and case
law in
which the nature – legal, social or biological – of nonhuman animals is
an important factor. Animal law encompasses companion
animals, wildlife,
animals used in entertainment and animals raised for food and research.
The emerging field of animal law is often analogized to the environmental
law movement
because "animal law faces many of the same legal and strategic
challenges that environmental law faced in seeking to establish a more
secure foothold in the United States and abroad""Source
