Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper will explore how consciousness of human rights is linked to the development of emerging concepts of rights. As an illustration of potential linkages, the authors explore the popular or “vernacular” consciousness of the emergence of animal rights in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The specific question addressed is whether vernacular conceptions of human rights or other cultural aspects of a nation predict support for the idea of animal rights and, consequently, support for various kinds of animal legislation. The hypotheses to be evaluated are that (1) variations in national attitudes toward human rights exist and are linked to variations in the consciousness of a range of animal rights and (2) animal law and regulatory policy preferences of the public are shaped by both an interaction of animal and human rights and political, cultural, economic and social values. Using data from a survey of 4,388 individuals in the four countries, the paper employs regression and logit analysis to test the empirical association of national patterns of human rights with attitudes about a range of animal rights and, second, attitudes about support for human rights and animal rights, animal ownership, support for animal-oriented interest groups, and their religious, socioeconomic, and political values of the public with support for various categories of animal legislation.
