towards an Animal friendly family Law recognising the welfare of family Law s forgotten family members
Social Science Research Network, 2010Co-Authors: Tony BogdanoskiAbstract:Companion Animals have assumed a pivotal role as legitimate members of the family in contemporary Western liberal societies, including Australia. However, the legal position of Australian family pets following family breakdown has largely gone unexamined. Even though their welfare is promoted by Animal protection Laws, Australian family courts do not currently need to explicitly consider the welfare of companion Animals when deciding their post-separation placement or ownership. Drawing upon the emergent field of Animal Law, as well as developments in North American family Law, this article argues that Australian family Law should not simply regard companion Animals as equivalent to any other piece of personal property requiring distribution between the parties upon separation or divorce. In particular, this article proposes that specific provisions should be inserted into the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth), distinct from existing provisions relating to the property and human children of the parties, stipulating that family courts explicitly consider the welfare of family pets in allocating them to the parties. Ultimately, the effect of treating family pets differently from personal property would be to acknowledge that companion Animals are not merely chattels but, as living beings that are dependent on their human owners for their future welfare, are instead very similar to human children and therefore also require special legal protection and attention in family Law proceedings.

gaps in us Animal welfare Law for laboratory Animals perspectives from an Animal Law attorney
Ilar Journal, 2017Co-Authors: Pamela D FraschAbstract:The use of Animals in biomedical, toxicological, and basic research has been common practice, and a tool for scientists and researchers, for many years. And yet, serious conflict continues to exist between those who believe that the use of Animals in research will yield scientific results that benefit humans and those who believe such practices are unethical regardless of use or outcome. High-profile undercover cases have further raised public awareness and have put the entire industry under pressure to be transparent, accountable, and aggressive in its adoption of reduction, refinement, and replacement (3R) principles. Many Animal Law attorneys are deeply frustrated by what they see as weak US Laws that are unevenly enforced, especially when compared with legal advances in other countries and regions. This article (1) explores those gaps in US Animal welfare Laws with an emphasis on the Animal Welfare Act, (2) argues in favor of stronger Laws and rigorous enforcement, and (3) suggests steps to advance these goals. These steps include (1) expanding the definition of "Animal" in the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), (2) improving and expanding minimum care requirements in USDA regulations, (3) instituting mandatory reporting requirements, improving Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees, and allowing easier accessibility to laboratory reports and plans, (4) adding a citizen suit provision to the AWA, and (5) continuing education about the emotional and social capacities of Animals and a stronger commitment to 3R principles.

COVID-19 Shows the Need for a Global Animal Law
Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, 2020Co-Authors: Anne PetersAbstract:The pandemic COVID-19 ─ which is a zoonosis ─ illustrates how problems of global nature and proportions stem from human use and abuse of Animals and therefore underlines the necessity of a global Law approach. The social, ecological, and economic consequences of Animal exploitation, notably (but not limited to) agriculture, range from human poverty to transnational organised wildlife crime, to global warming, and of course to Animal suffering. Not the least, the danger of the outsourcing of Animal-processing industries and research facilities to Animal cruelty havens and the threat of a regulatory chill on the national level suggest that the regulatory response to Animal issues needs to be global. The Office International des Epizooties (OIE) could be transformed into the institutional hub for such an approach. The contribution also addresses and refutes the challenge of cultural and legal imperialism that is mounted against such a global Law approach. It suggests to develop further the One Health paradigm for containing the pandemic and for combatting future zoonoses. The paper concludes that a critical global Animal Law approach will be helpful for overcoming the COVID-crisis and is generally warranted for transforming human─Animal interaction.

Global Animal Law: What It Is and Why We Need It
Transnational Environmental Law, 2016Co-Authors: Anne PetersAbstract:The symposium collection in this issue of TEL , consisting of four articles including this framing article, seeks to conceptualize and flesh out a new branch of Law and legal research: global Animal Law. The starting hypothesis is that contemporary Animal Law must be global or transnational (that is, both transboundary and multilevel) in order to be effective. In times of globalization, all aspects of (commodified) human−Animal interactions (from food production and distribution, working Animals and uses in research, to breeding and keeping of pets) possess a transboundary dimension. Animal welfare has become a global concern, which requires global regulation. This foreword introduces the three symposium articles, sketches out the research programme of global Animal Law and links its emergence to the ongoing ‘Animal turn’ in the social sciences, including political philosophy.

Animal Law reform or revolution
2015Co-Authors: Anne Peters, Saskia Stucki, Livia BoscardinAbstract:This book has emerged out of the inaugural conference of the doctoral programme “Law and Animals” at the Law School of the University of Basel. It tackles one of the normative questions fundamental to this novel field of interdisciplinary legal research - the question of the appropriate legal status and means of legal protection of Animals, and frames it in terms of a well-known controversy: reform or revolution? Should the use of Animals be merely regulated for the purpose of humane treatment and improving Animal welfare, or must it be abolished in order to safeguard the (moral) rights and inherent value of Animals? The contributors introduce the reader to the ethical and legal bases of this debate and further pursue the main issue of whether the Law’s dealing with Animals ought to be reformed.

valuing nature in environmental Law lessons for Animal Law and the valuation of Animals
Social Science Research Network, 2020Co-Authors: Joan E SchaffnerAbstract:This chapter analyses what Animal Law can learn from environmental Law when valuing Animals for purposes of setting appropriate compensatory damages for their harm. Part I of this chapter will discuss environmental Law and its approach to valuation of nature. It will present the anthropocentric and biocentric approaches to valuing nature, methods of measurement to assess nature’s value, and the legislative approach to natural resource damages under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Part II will examine the Animal Law debate over valuing companion Animals and the courts’ reticence to allow damages for loss of companionship value, often limiting recovery for the injury or loss of a com¬panion Animal to the Animal’s economic market value. Part III will explain how the environmental Law approach to valuing natural resource damages may inform the Animal Law debate over valuing companion Animals and briefly explore how this debate over proper damages for loss of an Animal may extend to all Animals and include consideration of their intrinsic value.
