Dogs do not have RIGHTS of their own, they are not humans but they are owed PROTECTIONS.
I am actually thinking of taking an Animal Law course next semester because I am interested in this dichotomy. |
I agree with you on the compassion and owing them the right of protection. But who ends the cycle? The buyer, the seller? They need each other to exist. Correct?
I am a nurse-so Animal Law would be quite foreign to me. But you could always be a key player in such a great cause. I see you are from PA-congrats on the passage of the law there.
