Pets rights in hawaii

Under most laws in the US, animals are regarded as property and thus may not enjoy rights of their own. There have been many cases in most US states such as Hawaii of people mistreating their pets such as dogs and cats. In the last few years, different laws have been legislated to guarantee and give pets (dogs and cats) their rights. These rights involve the right to be free of brutality, natural disasters and rights of having their interests considered in a courtroom (Little 6).
Many people have an interest in the topic because of laws that have been passed to protect animals. Anticruelty laws demand that animals need to be provided with basic requirements and be treated in a fair manner.
