Animal rights is an emotional issue and its supporters have shown how passionate and determined they are to speak on behalf of animals.
There is a huge amount of information available, much of it from animal rights organisations. The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs publishes various leaflets explaining how the welfare of animals is protected by law. Campaigning organisations, meanwhile, focus on specific issues of animal welfare.
The RSPCA's Animal Action Club publishes a newsletter with project ideas.
