DISCLAIMER/DISCLOSURE: i am not a lawyer. i am a near radical animal rights couchtavist.
Aren't there Federal statutes that lay out what animal abuse is? I know the Law views animals as property, but in regards to dogs,cats, etc. there are rules about how you treat them. Do bovine, equine, and poultry animals not fall under these protections?
Obviously i could be completely off base...
- matthewsimon 13y agoThe federal Animal Welfare Act specifically does not apply to farm animals, and many state statutes also make specific exceptions for agricultural operations. Cf. http://awic.nal.usda.gov/farm-animals http://awic.nal.usda.gov/farm-animals
