Helping animal welfare groups to help animals! What we can do…
to support your animal advocacy or campaign group.
The Law & Animal Welfare Reform
Read this account from A-LAW’s Legal Policy Director and barrister, Alan Bates, about how law can drive reform of animal welfare laws and act as a powerful tool to protect and advance animal interests.
Legal Strategies
We work with animal welfare and campaign groups to help them find legal soluctions to welfare problems. We help identify ways in which the law can be strengthened and better enforced. We work collaboratively with groups to help them identify legal routes to change.
