The law as the limit of no longer acceptable uses of animals
As president of the project Global Animal Law (GAL) I withhold my private opinion whether use animals is acceptable or not. Personally I would rather draw very narrow limits. With GAL we want to contribute to alleviate animal pain by use of the law, an often undervalued means, adapted to local concepts and circumstances.
The «utopian» vision of GAL, a world without almost any use and abuse of animals, may function as a light-house in setting and enforcement of law. A process to be pursued step by step on local, national and international levels with respect to the state of legislation and the prevailing people’s opinions.
