Course description
Animal welfare is distinct from ‘animal rights’ and ‘animal cruelty’ and, as such, it is vital that legal professionals working in this area understand the differences between them, and how and when they overlap.
Jeremy Frost presents this comprehensive and informative webinar that will serve as a useful introduction to animal welfare, its legal framework in the UK and the recent developments you should be aware of. It will cover the Animal Welfare Act 2006, more recent legislation such as the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Act 2021 and the New Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill, how Brexit is expected to impact this area and much more.
