Comparing European Union And United States Animal Cruelty Laws
Animal rights groups are doing everything they can to make sure that animal cruelty laws are in effect all over the world. No longer can animals be used to see how a weapon might treat the flesh of a human or how a human will survive a crash in an automobile.
Today’s laws are strict on a variety of animal rights issues, including transporting and even slaughtering. Domestic, farm and zoo animals are protected in a variety of ways around the globe from being treated inhumanely.
The European Union governs the animal cruelty laws for companion animals, unlike the United States that leaves it up to the individual states to govern accordingly.
The European laws take preventive actions rather than waiting to deal with the abusive owner after an animal has been abused. This is unlike the US, which does not have any preventive measures against animal cruelty.
The animal cruelty laws of the European Union are much more advanced than those of the United States. The main reason for this is because the EU sees animals as having inherent value; the US sees them as only property.
Just as slaves were once seen as being property, so too are the animals in today’s modern world. The only way to stop this from continuing is to become active in the fight for the prevention of cruelty to animals.
