The Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law is featured in today’s issue of the Sunday Telegraph, the Sunday edition of the UK newspaper the Daily Telegraph. The article sheds light on the Centre’s history and its educational role. In the words of our Director, Dr Butler:
As an academic institute the Centre’s role is to research, reflect, and publish, so that if — or when — there is a demand for animals to be granted rights, the legal groundwork will have been done and there will be an understanding of what animal rights laws could look like and what the implications would be.
We are delighted to see that there is national interest in the UK in animal rights law and an increasing awareness of the need for better understanding of the questions raised by attempts worldwide to secure rights protection for animals.
