Our Executive Director, Edie presented our findings from our report on #TheEnforcementProblem
Representatives of @WalesLicensing Wales, @RSPCA_official and @CTSI_UK supported calls for better enforcement while highlighting the importance of increased capacity and resourcing.
👇
Next week, we will be at the Senedd to host a Parliamentary event on #TheEnforcementProblem.
The event will bring together Members of Senedd, policymakers, enforcement bodies, practitioners and advocates to discuss the challenges in enforcing the laws that exist to protect animals in Wales.
Stay tuned for updates!

The Animal Law Foundation has long argued that animal protection laws mean nothing if enforcement does not follow.
We are delighted to see progress in this area, and the fruits of our work, including on the #TheEnforcementProblem and #PainAtTheTimeofKilling
We will continue our work on these issues and ensure the government follows through on its commitments.

‘Farm animal welfare in question as one in 304 breaches is acted upon’ The Sunday Post reports
Our latest report on #TheEnforcementProblem showed that in Scotland only 2.88% of farms were inspected in 2024, meaning 97.02% of Scottish farms received no official welfare visit at all.
In slaughterhouses, only one in 304 cases of non-compliance in Scotland resulted in an enforcement action.
Our Executive Director Edie Bowles, said: “Scotland’s current enforcement of farmed animal welfare law is demonstrably inadequate.
“With 97% of farms uninspected, the highest breach rate in the UK, and only 1% of violations leading to prosecution, meaningful oversight is practically impossible.
“If animal welfare legislation is to carry any real weight, Scotland must strengthen enforcement so that breaches of the law are no longer treated as inconsequential.”

Without enforcement, legal protections mean nothing.
I’ve read The Animal Law Foundation’s report on how legal protections for animals are NOT being enforced. I'm joining @AnimallawFDN calling @DefraGovUK to address #TheEnforcementProblem

@AnimallawFDN has published #TheEnforcementProblem revealing that in 2024 only 2.2% of farms were inspected, 28.4% of those inspections revealed welfare breaches, but only 2.2% of cases of non-compliance resulted in a prosecution. You can learn more here: https://t.co/sysV8dgTyl
Behind the UK’s reputation for strong animal protection lies an enforcement system that barely functions.
For the third year, our data shows the same alarming trend: laws on paper aren’t being applied in practice. Our new report on #TheEnforcementProblem shows that:
⚠️Only 2.2% of farms were inspected last year.
⚠️28.4% of those inspections revealed welfare breaches.
⚠️But only 2.2% of cases of non-compliance on farms result in prosecutions meaning more than 97.8% of these cases never lead to prosecutions
⚠️Only half of all complaints about farm animal welfare in the UK resulted in an inspection by public authorities.
That’s not leadership. That’s neglect.

Animals deserve more than empty promises. They deserve laws that mean something in practice.

BREAKING: Our newly published data on #TheEnforcementProblem shows the UK is home to systemic breaches of animal protection laws but no prosecutions.

Scroll to see what we found 🧵👇
In 2022, together with @AnimalEquality, we put together a report on #TheEnforcementProblem.
Our report revealed widespread and systemic under-enforcement of the legal frameworks meant to protect farmed animals, between the years of 2018 to 2021
Since then, we published an updated report analysing the data for 2022 and 2023 and sadly found no significant improvements. The system continues to fail animals.
We are now working on collecting the latest data 👀
Thank you @faunalytics for highlighting #TheEnforcementProblem

Our Executive Director, Edie Bowles, highlights that:
"Independent investigations shouldn’t be the only line of defence for these animals. Official safeguards should be in place so that animal protection laws mean something in practice."
#TheEnforcementProblem
We are currently in Parliament discussing #TheEnforcementProblem - the laws that protect animals must mean more than just a piece of paper.
📸 @ClaireHWAnimals
As we discuss in #TheEnforcementProblem report, local authorities are the main enforcement bodies for farmed animal welfare in England, Scotland, and Wales and are therefore crucial in ensuring animals are protected as set out by UK law.
(2/5)
From challenging unlawful government decisions to holding those who break the law to account, we work to ensure that the UK’s animal protection laws mean what they say.
Because animal protection isn’t optional. It’s the law. ⚖️

#TheEnforcementProblem #FoodChainMisinformation
Part of #TheEnforcementProblem is the lack of centralised and consistent record keeping.
This disparity underscores the urgent need for cohesive data management in our agricultural sector.
