We are excited to announce a conference we’re co-organizing with the Fondation Droit Animal, Éthique & Sciences (LFDA), “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change.”
Held at Brussels’ Residence Palace, the day-long gathering on Tuesday 18th November will take stock of the announcements made by the European Commission and the Member States in the context of the revision (“modernization”) of EU animal welfare legislation.
The speakers and panel members – who will include policymakers from the EU institutions, animal advocacy representatives, and academics – will propose solutions to ensure the announced modernization delivers optimal results for animals, including identifying convergence opportunities between animal protection and economic objectives, such as fair competition and economic efficiency.

Join us at our webinar on 26th January, when Dr. Neil Dullaghan and Alice Di Concetto will discuss his new book, “The Compassion Mandate.” It examines how the EU’s leadership on animal welfare advanced and then stalled, and how Europe’s credibility as a champion of humane progress can be rebuilt.
Our yearly review of EU animal law developments is out. Overall, 2025 has been a difficult year for animals and this yearly review shows the need for continued advocacy and commitment in the legal sphere.
Gabriela Kubíková (Legislative Advocacy Manager) authored a book review of Simon Brooman, Debbie Legge, Deborah Rook and Rachel Dunn’s book “Animal Law: Challenges and Theme,” published with 5m Books. The review was published in the Journal of International Wildlife Law & Policy.
