Can Animals Sue?
Can Animals Sue?
This chapter addresses the question of whether animals should be allowed to sue. It argues that, at a minimum, lawsuits should be permitted, on animals' behalf, to ensure compliance with existing law. The chapter recommends that laws designed to protect animals against cruelty, and that abuse should be amended or interpreted to give a private cause of action against those who violate those laws, so as to allow private people to supplement the efforts of public prosecutors.
