Rights affecting non-human animals, commonly called 'animal rights', encompass everything from the legal recognition of non-human animal sentience to the absolute lack of any anti-cruelty laws with no regard for animal welfare. The recognition of such animal rights varies greatly from one jurisdiction (such as a country, territory, or other political entity) to another.

It has been proposed that the League of Nations pass the first resolution recognizing animal rights, the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare, which acknowledges the importance of the sentience of animals and human responsibilities towards them.

 Burgundie Maybe Maybe Foie gras is delicious. Whaling is a cultural pillar of Burgundie. Cosmetic testing on animals is science. Marine mammal captivity is regulated to board certified aquariums. Goose pulling is only done to dead or rubber geese.
 Caphiria Maybe Maybe Maybe Bullfighting, using animals and circuses, and marine mammal captivity are illegal on a broad level, although it is possible through strict regulations. Whaling is illegal but it is possible to obtain a commercial whaling license.
 Carna
 Cartadania Maybe Maybe Laws typically handled at state level, and often are the result of the first ruling court's decision (or state/territorial supreme court). Although it is illegal in all states to perform cosmetic testing on animals (federal law), Cartadania does indiscriminately import products from countries where it is permitted. Marine mammal captivity is a topic of common debate and regulations in force in the states where it is permitted tend to be very strict.

 Eldmora-Regulus Maybe No Maybe Maybe Maybe Maybe
 Faneria Yes No No No Yes
 Hendalarsk
 Loa Republic Although Loa Republic's lack of animal welfare laws is considered among the worst in the world, special care is afforded to insects and other arthropods due to religious beliefs. As a result, there is a great deal of legislation enshrining the rights of arthropods, which in some cases are more advanced than the rights afforded to Loa citizens.
 Urcea Maybe No Yes Yes No No Yes Yes No Many animal welfare issues are handled at the provincial level, but a consensus exists on most issues.
