In your analysis here, with all the countries you've chosen in this particular document, I notice that conspicuously absent are some countries such as the United States of America and Australia. And if we look at some of the other western societies, they're conspicuously absent. I'm just wondering if you could tell me....
I read a section in here that said that these countries were chosen because each has federal legislation, the legislation is available in English, and detailed information about that legislation is easily accessible on the worldwide web.
The United States of America just pressed federal charges against Michael Vick for conspiracy with respect to dog fighting. It would seem to me that there would be no reason—that's a federal charge—they would be left out of the comparative analysis.
Could you please tell me about that?
