The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series: A New Approach to Protecting Sentient Beings

Epstein, Aude-Solveig; Di Concetto, Alice

This volume explores the intersection of animal protection and economic law within the European Union, offering a bold new framework for safeguarding sentient beings. Despite decades of EU legislation and constitutional recognition of animal sentience, industrial farming, wildlife trade, and animal-based research continue to thrive under economic pressures. Through contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, the book reveals how economic law—spanning corporate, trade, competition, procurement, and consumer law—can be reimagined to prioritize animal welfare.
