Animal Laws
For much of history, animals were considered mere commodities who pulled our wagons, provided the products for our farms, herded our sheep, and kept our barns free of mice.
 | During the last century, however, socioeconomic changes in society at large and our own unfolding humane ethic have produced changes in the status of animals as well. Many animals--dogs and cats in particular--are now overwhelmingly companions instead of servants. In addition, government laws have evolved from promoting animals as property, to protecting them as cherished pets.
