Deux articles en droit de l’animal publiés dans la Revue Juridique de l’Environnement

Our latest publication is a White Paper advocating for stronger protection of pigs under EU law through a prohibition of caged farming. “Reforming Pig Welfare in the European Union: The Case for a Cage-Free Future,” by Gabriela Kubíková, Artūrs Kaņepājs, Griffin Carpenter and Marietheres Reinke, presents a compelling argument for a transition to free farrowing in the pig sector, with the aim of informing the Commission’s ongoing modernization of animal welfare legislation.

Our new Omnibus Tracker offers a centralized, user-friendly overview of the scope of the European Commission’s ten “omnibus” regulations, which amend dozens of regulations and directives simultaneously, and how they relate to animal protection issues.

Despite decades of EU legislation and constitutional recognition of animal sentience, industrial farming, the wildlife trade, and animal-based research continue to thrive. A new book edited by Prof. Aude-Solveig Epstein and Alice Di Concetto argues that meaningful progress for animals will remain limited unless economic law itself is rethought and reformed in a consistent, systemic, and far-reaching manner, placing animal welfare at the heart of corporate governance and market regulation.
