The Animal Rights Movement is about achieving more basic rights for animals. A lot of that progress happens in the legal system. Different animals have different rights. Farm animals, 9 billion of whom are tortured and killed every year in America, have virtually no rights, far less than dogs and cats for example. You can do to a cow or a pig things that would land you in jail of you did them to a dog or a cat. Advancing Law for Animals is determined to change that.
