ABOUT THE BOOK:
Beyond the Law was first published in 1996 by Archimedian Press, a project of
the late Henry Spira and Animal Rights International. In his Publisher's
Note, Henry wrote, "Beyond the Law is designed to bring to the public's
attention the world of misery in which more than eight billion farm animals
live, suffer and die in violence each year in the USA." Farm
Sanctuary
thanks Henry Spira for his work on behalf of farm animals and Animal Rights
International for helping to fund this updated version of Beyond the Law.
"Beyond the Law is a "must read" for anyone who thinks farmed
animals are
protected from cruelty by laws in the United States. This thoroughly
researched publication details how animals who are exploited by the
agricultural industry have been systematically and unjustifiably excluded
from even the most basic legal protections."
~ Joyce Tischler, Executive Director, Animal Legal Defense Fund
"Of all the animals who need our help, farm animals represent the largest
segment of the animal kingdom, numbering in the billions. It is imperative
that we recognize and confer on them basic protections, equal to those given
other animals, to ensure their health, safety and humane treatment."
~ Lisa Weisberg, Vice President of Government Affairs
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
"Even though farm animals suffer more than any group of animals, the laws
to
protect them are extraordinarily weak or simply non-existent. It is vital
that we build a body of law to protect these creatures, who deserve
protection every bit as much as any other animals. The challenge we face
is
significant because agribusiness is a multi-billion dollar industry with an
enormously powerful and influential political presence."
