Animal Law Italia, as a non profit organization engaged in the promotion and advancement of the legal protection of non-human animals, has been committed for many years in outreach and educational projects, addressed to civil society, professionals and universities, with the goal to stimulate public debate and increase knowledge regarding animal rights and animal protection law.
ALI currently promotes two editorial projects. These projects, bound by the aim of pursuing ALI’s mission, have two different objectives.
The on-line magazine aims at informing and educating citizens about Italian, European and international law and policies, adopted with reference to the protection of animals, with insights into bioethics and animal ethology, through the publication of short articles.
The six-monthly periodical, prepared under the guidance of a scientific committee, aims to contribute to critical reflection and discussion on the issue of the protection of non-human animals, through the involvement of scholars belonging to various disciplinary fields who can stimulate the public debate, concretely contributing to the advancement of legislation.
Both editorial projects are bound by an inter- and multidisciplinary approach, combining legal insights with contributions from related fields of knowledge, such as philosophy, veterinary medical sciences, biology and ethology. Considering the peculiarity of the object of investigation, the weighting of the different aspects that characterize such a complex area of interest is considered essential to properly analyze the role covered by non human animals in our society.
Scholars, researchers, professionals interested in drafting short articles intended to be addressed to a general public, to be published on the on-line Journal in order to inform and raise awareness on law, policies, science and ethics related to the protection of non-human animals can write their contributions in Italian.
