| 203: Animal Cruelty Policy and Practice |
|---|
| A troubling issue in the relationships between animals and humans in communities is that of animal cruelty. How animal cruelty is defined and adjudicated is examined through inquiry into animal cruelty laws and known links between cruelty to animals and humans, when individuals may intervene in instances of animal cruelty and when mandatory and/or cross-reporting of cruelty is warranted. Issues related to cruelty include actions to recover animals believed to be wrongly taken, use of animals in education and research settings, hunter harassment laws, and parental rights to refuse vaccines containing animal components. Other issues considered in the context of cruelty include farm animals, prison inmate rights to a vegetarian diets, animals in entertainment, and wildlife overpopulation in metropolitan areas. This course includes conference calls. | | Instructors: |
