A History of The Humane Society of the United States, the Animal Rights Movement and their influence on the American society
There is a war going on today in our society and it is unknown by most. It is a war on our own soil yet it involves no military or soldiers. It is a war on our rights, and belief’s, our very existence as we know it. It is a war of minds and attitudes. It is a war that has been going on for almost 20 years.

It is a war to entitle animals to human rights.

They are afforded some protections through animal-cruelty laws, endangered-species regulations and the federal Animal Welfare Act, but are not endowed with a distinct set of rights.” “However, the field of animal law has evolved steadily, with courses taught at
