Oxford Theologian wants Animal Cruelty Offenders' Register
A call for a National Animal Cruelty Offenders' Register will be made later this month by Professor Andrew Linzey, director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, in an address at St Albans Cathedral.
"For a long time, animal protectionists have been calling for stricter penalties for those convicted of animal abuse. And the usual measures, including fines and community orders, seem a pretty weak-kneed response to those who deliberately inflict cruelty. That is why some are now calling for automatic prison sentences for cruelty and long ones at that. But prison, it seems to me, is not the answer. We know that around 40% of prisoners reoffend and prison frequently dehumanises people. We have to find a way in which the seriousness of animal cruelty can be registered, offenders effectively treated, and animals saved from cruelty. This requires a radical rethink", argues Linzey.

UK: Leading animal ethicists call for full disclosure on testing
Patients prescribed drugs tested on animals should be told details of exactly what it involved, including any suffering caused, say some of the world’s leading animal ethicists.
The editors of the Journal of Animal Ethics (JAE), published this month
by the University of Illinois Press, want full disclosure on the nature
of testing used in drug development. They say people should know “not
only whether animals were used, but also what kind, how many were used,
the precise procedures to which they were subject, and the nature and
severity of the pain and suffering, if any, that they had to endure.”
