Beyond the Cage: Unpacking the Complexities of Animal Welfare and Rights
For centuries, the relationship between humans and animals has been defined by utility. Animals provided labor, food, clothing, and companionship.

4. Legal Landscape (Selected Examples)
| Country | Key Legal Advancements | |---------|------------------------| | European Union | Bans battery cages, gestation crates, and cosmetic testing. Treats animals as “sentient beings” (Lisbon Treaty). | | UK | Animal Welfare Act 2006 (duty of care). Recognizes cephalopods and decapods as sentient. | | USA | Animal Welfare Act (covers some animals in labs, zoos, dealers).
