Edie Bowles, the Managing Director of UK law firm Advocates for Animals, joins us on this episode to help us understand what appears to be a groundbreaking decision in animal welfare law that involves one of the most widespread and egregious practices in industrial animal agriculture, the breeding of factory-farmed chickens raised for meat in ways that cause unbelievable suffering. At first glance, this case may not look like a win for animals, but on closer examination, it appears that the court has done something extraordinary that could have substantial ramifications for the lives of the most widely abused animals in the world: chickens.

Key Discussion Points:

  • The interpretation of UK welfare regulations for industrial chicken farming
  • How Paragraph 29 challenges fast-growing chicken breeds
  • The role of the RSPCA’s research in legal proceedings
  • Enforcement mechanisms for animal welfare laws
  • The future of chicken breeding practices in agriculture
  • Private prosecution options in UK animal law

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Edie is a solicitor and the managing director of Advocates for Animals. She has advised almost all of the main animal protection organizations, smaller organizations, and individuals across all animal protection laws and campaigning. She often speaks on animal protection issues and has done so in the UK Parliament, the French Sénat, and the East African Legislative Assembly.

Interview transcript available on our website.
