User:Timeline of Animal Rights/sandbox

Animal rights was achieved gradually across the world from the latter 21st century. By the middle of the 22nd century, every territory on Earth would have introduced essential rights to non-human animals. This includes basic rights applied to non-human animals; such as the right to life, the right to 'sub-personhood' (guaranteeing the right not to be used as property). This was the ultimate goal of the animal rights movement and seen as an achievement of anti-speciesism. In effect, the liberation of non-human animals abolished their exploitation and secured them a post-liberation legal status. This was achieved through a range of ways - mostly from legislative changes introduced by governments or leaders of nations, as was the case in the United Kingdom. Other means of animal rights being introduced included referendums, as was the case in the Republic of Ireland and Switzerland and court cases, such as the case of Bussini vs. Koh which was brought forward to the United States Supreme Court in 2101.

This timeline applies to nations where full animal rights was either achieved or is argued to having been achieved, depending on the varied definitions of 'full basic rights' as no nation can be seen to introduce full human rights to non-human animals. This is so as many rights such as suffrage have never been given to non-human animals.
