And 3) to assess issues and suggest the most effective legal action. The research approach is a qualitative research, which analyzes legal documents, books, and related studies.

According to the study of the background, history, and development of the law governing the beasts of burden registration of certificate of identification, there was once the Penal Code of Siam R.S. 127 that dealt with livestock like goats, sheep, and pigs as well as beasts of burden like elephants, horses, cows, buffaloes, and mules. There is evidence that these animals serve as food and transportation, and that many animals cross the borders of the country to enter and leave. Therefore, it is crucial that all animals used for transportation are registered in order to safeguard both residents' property rights and the nation's peace and security. Then, as a particular law controlling animals of burden, the Beasts of Burden Act, B.E. 2482 (1939), has a significant impact. The aforementioned rule has remained in force for 84 years without being revised, despite the fact that the use of beasts of burden has changed across society and the economy and that there are now fewer mounts accessible. Therefore, the meaning of the law cannot be enforced with the same force as its text of legislation. Studying the rules and legal framework governing the registration of certificates of identity in the United States of America can help modernize Thai law and obtain recognition and benefits for pet owners.
