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.".〔()〕 ==Approaches== Animal law issues encompass a broad spectrum of approaches—from philosophical explorations of the rights of animals to pragmatic discussions about the rights of those who use animals, who has standing to sue when an animal is harmed in a way that violates the law, and what constitutes legal cruelty.〔 Animal law permeates and affects most traditional areas of the law – including tort, contract, criminal and constitutional law. Examples of this intersection include: * Animal custody disputes in divorce or separations.;〔("Pet Custody Disputes" ), National Association for Biomedical Research – Animal Law Section.〕〔''Gray v Brimbank CC'' (Review and Regulation) () VCAT 1485 (BAWP )〕 * Veterinary malpractice cases.〔https://www.animallaw.info/article/detailed-discussion-veterinarian-malpractice〕 * Housing disputes involving “no pets” policies and discrimination laws.〔https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=servanimals_ntcfheo2013-01.pdf〕 * Damages cases involving the wrongful death or injury to a companion animal.〔("Non-Economic Damages" ), National Association for Biomedical ResearchDRYTUR6UJDR6U – Animal Law Section.〕 * Enforceable trusts for companions being adopted by states across the country.〔("Pet Trusts" ), National Association for Biomedical Research – Animal Law Section.〕 * Criminal law encompassing domestic violence and anti-cruelty laws. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Animal law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
