Abstract
Thus far, we have studied how animals fit within the existing legal regime. In this final chapter, we will look briefly to the future of animal protection law. What have we learned from a review of the existing law and how might the law be constructed to better protect animals? The focus of this chapter is to initiate a dialogue and to propose a few suggestions and examples of a legal regime that considers animals as subjects.
