From the Globe and Mail today:
Animal law classes are the hot new offering at Canadian law schools. The University of Toronto and Queen’s University will both start teaching animal law this fall, joining at least six other Canadian universities where dogs and cats are already on the curriculum.
[...]
Some experts compare animal law today to environmental law in the 1970s – just emerging from its reputation as a special-interest niche (with a tinge of left-wing loony) to become a solid discipline that is widely accepted and potentially lucrative for practitioners.
So that’s why animals should not be treated as property – there’s money to be made!
