Abstract:This chapter considers how animals can (and historically have been) protected with limited or even no public resource, and indeed with limited or no animal protection laws. Given emphasis are cruelty (a positive act to deliberately cause unnecessary suffering of an animal) and negligence (an action or lack of action (through ignorance or lack of competence)) that unintentionally results in unnecessary suffering.
