"Animal Law is essentially a textbook that addresses several areas of law concerning the role of animals and the interaction of humans and animals within our legal system. The book is made up of a series of articles on specific topics of animal law such as the sale of animals, humane and cruelty laws, bailment of animals, medical care of animals, and animals within wills and trusts. The book also contains a discussion of federal wildlife laws and a sample pet-adoption agreement. The authors of the book are both attorneys, and Loring is a veterinarian as well. Animal Law provides a comprehensive yet concise overview of the many aspects of animal law, and contains numerous citations to pertinent court cases and laws. This makes the book an invaluable resource for the attorney working or interested in the field of animal rights and protection."-ASPCA Report

"This very thorough and well-written treatise provides a general introduction to the subject of animal law. Among the topics covered are the ownership of animals, animals as personal property, duty owed to animals, and ramifications of the medical care of animals by veterinarians. While the authors indicate that the book is designated for both attorneys and laypersons, it is quite sophisticated.... Since the subject of animal law has not been examined as extensively as many other legal topics, this treatise is a welcome addition to academic or special libraries." ---Library Journal
