Farmed fish have some legal protections, such as the need for a suitable environment. However, unlike other farmed animals, fish do not have official codes or guidance explaining what those legal protections mean. The Animal Law Foundation works to ensure the law is applied in practice. For more see https://lnkd.in/gJ97FyRJ

Under EU derived law it is illegal to pick animals up by the legs when transporting them; however, it is the most common practice when loading chickens. We are representing The Animal Law Foundation and The Humane League to challenge this. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eKGSdiME

I'll be presenting my latest research, “Individuals vs. Species: Balancing Singular Needs with Collective Conservation in Environmental Law", at the UK Animal Law Conference in end May in Birmingham. Below an intro to my article and links to the conference program & registration. 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬: 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐰 Rimona Afana Environmental law is disproportionately focused on species conservation while disregarding the suffering of individual nonhuman animals. Crimes against countless individuals are permitted under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora if their species is not threatened. A species-centric approach also defines the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Biodiversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement. This fixation on species obscures crimes against trillions of sentient beings. Nonhuman animals are not primarily species, but individuals seeking to survive and thrive, with distinct needs and a right to not be harmed. Yet, under domestic and international environmental laws, as long as species are conserved, individuals can be legally displaced, abducted, confined, tortured, killed. We see that happening to the victims of animal farming, a legal anomaly, and to the victims of wildlife trade, legal and artificially distinguished from wildlife trafficking. Only extreme forms of animal abuse are condemned; most others are allowed, culturally and legally. This disregard for life and sentience turns nature into a site of extraction and crime. Instead of a species-centric approach, sounder criteria for determining rights, particularly for wild animals, are considering: 1) how the animal experiences suffering, physically and psychologically, in the context of its (ab)use; 2) how its murder or exploitation impact other individuals of its species living now as well as intergenerationally; 3) how its removal from its habitat impacts other beings, so an ecosystems perspective. My suggested criteria are not easy to assess; an expansive approach to the nexus between environmental law and animal law ties our fight for animal rights to our ignorance: we know little about species and even less about individuals. I examine how several environmental treaties embrace this species-centric approach and why an individual-centred framework is preferable but challenging, practically and ethically. My hope is to identify how environmental law can adopt a more honest and compassionate approach to nonhuman animals.
