This document summarizes animal rights in the UK, US, and Canada. In the UK, the first animal protection law was passed in 1822 to prevent cruel treatment of cattle. Major laws were also passed in 1911 and 2007. In the US, animal rights issues include agriculture, animal control, hunting, and product testing. The group PETA advocates that animals should not be used for food, clothing, experimentation or entertainment. In Canada, the first relevant law was the Criminal Code of 1852, and the summary questions if it goes far enough to protect animal rights.
