94-731 - Brief Summaries of Federal Animal Protection Statutes
30-Nov-1998; Henry Cohen; 31 p.
Abstract: This report contains brief summaries of federal animal protection statutes, listed
alphabetically. It does not include treaties, although it does include statutes enacted
to implement treaties. It includes statutes concerning animals that are not entirely,
or not at all, animal protection statutes. For example, it includes a statute authorizing
the eradication of predators, because one of the statute’s purposes is to protect
domestic and “game” animals; and it includes statutes to conserve fish, although their
ultimate purpose may not be for the fishes’ benefit. It also includes statutes that
allow the disabled to use service animals, and even includes statutes aimed at acts of
animal rights advocates (the Animal Enterprise Protection Act of 1992, and the
Recreational Hunting Safety and Preservation Act of 1994). [read report]
