Animals and the law

  • This activity is just one part of a range of resources addressing the needs of young people who have been involved, or who are at risk of being involved, in cruelty to animals. Our online assessment tool Developing a suitable intervention programme (Word 17KB) will help you create individualised intervention programmes from these resources.
  • In this activity, young people consider scenarios involving humans and animals, and decide whether they are lawful.
  • Young people will:
  1. begin to realise that animals are protected by law
  2. explore which human actions towards animals are against the law
  3. explore the concept that just because an action is lawful, it is not necessarily in the best interests of the animal.
  • Activity 1 below follows on directly from the What is missing? activity in the What is cruelty? section.
  • If you have not already done What is missing?, use activity 2: Is it against the law?
