Protests in the Primaries The 2016 presidential election in the United States had its share of street theatre, but not all was attributable to Donald Trump. Early on in the primaries, on March 30, three protestors from the animal rights organisation Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) interrupted US Senator and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders while he spoke at a town hall meeting in Kenosha, Wisconsin.1 This was one of a small number of protests targeting Sanders by DxE. A YouTube video showed the protestors holding a banner declaring “Animal Liberation Now.” They shouted that Sanders once said, “The greatness of a nationI is measured by how it treats its most vulnerable,” but claimed that Sanders — who campaigned as a “Democratic socialist” — continued to “ignore the most vulnerable in our society,” meaning nonhuman animals. The protestors eventually were drowned out by the crowd’s hand-clapping and chanting of “Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!” From the stage, Sanders gestured for the protestors to sit down.

In 2019, LTV applied to the Land Trust Accreditation Commission for the second renewal of our status as an Accredited Land Trust, and following a thorough review, we were granted renewed accreditation. This designation serves as recognition that we conduct our business professionally and ethically. These achievements have been made possible, in large part, by the many individuals and businesses that have been so generous with donations of their time and money in support of our work. Conservation Easements Ari has taken on office management responsibilities at LTV, and her diligence LTV recorded 14 conservation easements in 2019 that protected 1,730 acres in and wonderful smile have been a great addition.

Critiques over the inadequacy of current legal protections afforded to animals have had a significant impact on how we debate animal welfare issues and the solutions to them.

It has allowed for a gradual transition from student life to ‘reality’, while giving me the opportunity to further extend the roots of my education and main interests. I want to thank the Flemish Fund for Scientific Research for the financial support of this research project, which has introduced me to new ideas, new people and new parts of the world. Of course, there would not have been a project had Johan Braeckman not encouraged me to apply for a grant to begin with. Johan has witnessed my ‘growth process’ (as well as the growing pains that have accompanied it) and I am deeply indebted to him for his active belief in my work as well as for the continuous support, encouragement and constructive criticism. It seems that nothing was too much to ask him. Despite his busy schedule, he never resisted reading, rereading and commenting on my papers. His dedication to ethics and philosophy is sincere, inspiring and fun (indeed, what would philosophy be without Cosmo Kramer?).

Journal of Biological Education, 49(3), 309- 321. https://doi.org/10.1080/00219266.2014.943788 The use of animals in biomedical research is a socio-scientific issue in which decision-making is complicated. In this article, we describe an experience involving a role play activity performed during school visits to the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) to debate animal testing. Role playing games require students to defend different positions and permit participants to debate and reflect on their personal opinions. A total of 262 students from 15- to 30-years-old participated in the activity. The article presents an analysis of the students’ opinions on this topic before and after performing the activity.

  • The Evolution of the British Animal Research Policy Process
    Society & Animals 19 (2011) 356-367 brill.nl/soan Protecting Animals versus the Pursuit of Knowledge: The Evolution of the British Animal Research Policy Process Dan Lyons University of Sheffield [email protected] Abstract Animal research in the United Kingdom is regulated by the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, which requires a government minister to weigh the expected suffering of animals against the expected benefits of a proposed animal research project—the “cost-benefit assessment”— before licensing the project. Research into the implementation of this legislation has been severely constrained by statutory confidentiality. This paper overcomes this hindrance by describ- ing a critical case study based on unprecedented primary data: pig-to-primate organ transplanta- tion conducted between 1995 and 2000. It reveals that researchers and regulators significantly underestimated the adverse effects suffered by the animals involved, while overestimating the scientific and medical benefits likely to accrue. Applying dynamic policy network analysis to this case in the context of the evolution of animal research policy indicates that an elitist, policy com- munity type network has persisted since shortly after the network’s formation in 1876. Animal research interests have repeatedly withstood pressure for change from animal protection groups because of their greater resources, structural advantages, and a culture of secrecy that facilitates an implementation gap in animal research regulation. Keywords animal research, Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, implementation, policy community, policy networks Introduction: Reevaluating UK Animal Research Policy In this paper I seek to describe and explain not only what has been happening to animals in British laboratories, but why, and how democratic, or politically legitimate, those outcomes are.
