Animals rights and welfare is a topic that is increasingly debated, but often lacks clarity. The
amount of research in the field is not as wide as, for instance, compared to human rights, despite
the fact that animals are sentient beings just like humans. Naturally the thesis is valuable

in force, which European Union Member States have to comply with equally.
