Abstract

Industrialized animal agriculture is rapidly spreading around the globe. But animal welfare protections have failed to keep up, resulting in billions of farm animals suffering. This article chronicles the slow rise of global laws and institutions intended to mitigate that suffering. In particular, it focuses on the evolving animal welfare policies of the European Union, World Animal Health Organization, World Bank, and Food and Agriculture Organization. It also addresses how farm animal welfare is becoming integrated into World Trade Organization case law and bilateral free trade agreements. I argue that international laws and institutions, though currently failing to protect farm animal welfare, provide a promising framework for more extensive protections in future. And I provide some recommendations on how to implement those future protections.
