This is the first book to closely examine the similarities and differences in the legal thinking and reality in across the Nordic countries, in relation to animals.

The book is a unique and valuable a reference textbook for legal scholars, judges, animal protection authorities, lawyers, and others students and researchers interested in the topic. The book also includes a chapter on future prospects about the protection of animals from negative human impact and de lege ferenda (a basis for future law) arguments.
