Starting from the detailed case study of a single prominent ruling, the authors provide a masterful survey of important issues facing society in the area of animal welfare. Opponents of the law argued that it was too far-reaching and would stifle protected speech.

About this product

Product Information

A collaboration between an attorney and an animal protection advocate, this work utilises the extremely controversial and high-profile crush video case, US v. Stevens, to explore how American society attempts to balance the protection of free speech and the prevention of animal cruelty. Starting from the detailed case study of a single prominent ruling, the authors provide a masterful survey of important issues facing society in the area of animal welfare. The Stevens case included various hot topic elements connected to the role of government as arbiter of public morality, including judicial attitudes to sexual deviance and dogfighting.
