Global animal law

Anne Peters

Chapter 43 in Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Animal Law, 2025, pp 164-167 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The animal question has gone global. Human behaviour towards nonhuman animals has led to animal misery and death up to the extinction of entire animal species on a global scale. It moreover has ethical, ecological, and social implications for all humans and for the entire planet. These globalised problems need globalised law and policy responses in order to be effectively regulated in the face of economic globalisation, as a contribution to global sustainable development, and as an imperative of global justice. For these reasons, global animal law has emerged as a body of law that warrants scholarly exploration, with due attention to legal and cultural pluralism. Global animal law is an appropriate lens that allows us to understand, apply, criticise, and advance the legal animal question.
