Building better laws for animals

The Animal Law Foundation was founded by Edie Bowles a solicitor with a vast amount of experience in animal protection legislation.

It is primarily a legal research charity that looks into neglected areas and where appropriate will instruct lawyers to bring legal challenges to secure any systems in place to protect animals function as they should. 

Groups like this exist in the environmental and the human rights space in the UK and in the animal protection space in other countries. There is a desperate need for such work to exist for animals in the UK.

The UK still has some of the best animal welfare laws in the world, yet the opportunity for vast change contained within these laws is rarely explored. Through exploring these opportunities the whole system for animals can be improved and set global examples. 

It is of vital importance that laws that exist to protect animals are understood and applied. The Animal Law Foundation will work alongside stakeholders to ensure that this happens.
