Abstract
For reasons already explored, Congress plays a much more important legislative function than the British House of Commons and because of this, the general role of Congress in animal protection decision-making is considered further in Chapters 7 and 10. This chapter is limited to an examination of the characteristics of those members of Congress who have displayed an interest in animal protection issues in the period 1985–1994.
