Alors que nous entamons notre cinquième année d’existence, nous remercions chaleureusement celles et ceux qui nous accompagnent dans nos activités.
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.
In her latest paper, our Legislative Advocacy Manager, Gabriela Kubíková, examines the legislation governing the welfare of chickens. She stresses the need for a more evidence-based approach to animal welfare law and policy, emphasizing the necessity of revising the current legislative standards – as well as entirely re-thinking the broader food system in which these and billions of other animals are exploited.
