Abstract
Public concern about animal welfare has increased substantially in recent decades. This is mostly due to scientific findings that show that animals possess the ability to experience pain and suffering. Despite this growing public concern, the relations between humans and animals remain ambivalent. Although policy makers have taken important steps to promote animal welfare, when coming into conflict with other societal interests, the balancing of interests often turns out badly for the animals. This doctoral thesis explores what new key elements can be introduced in the legal order to give animals and their welfare a fair place in this balancing of interests. For this purpose a multi-level approach is applied, combined with interdisciplinary insights from the fields of constitutional law, environmental law and human rights law.
