Animal Rights Law is a 2023 textbook by Raffael N. Fasel and Sean C. Butler, published by Hart Publishing. It surveys the development of animal rights law and related legal and philosophical debates. The book compares how different legal systems classify and protect non-human animals, addresses theories of animal rights and personhood, and discusses litigation and legislative efforts concerning their legal status. Drawing on material from more than 30 jurisdictions, it includes case studies, theoretical discussions, and examples from both civil and common law traditions. Academic reviews describe it as a concise overview of the subject and a useful introductory text in the study of animal law.
