South Africa

Animal Law Reform South Africa is the first dedicated animal law non-profit organisation in South Africa, and one of the first in Africa. We are composed of compassionate lawyers working towards the protection of animals, humans and the environment. We envisage a society and legal system that adequately protects all vulnerable beings.

We work on connecting three core focus areas: Animal well-being, Social Justice and Law. We focus on a few key areas that we believe will bring about the most change, which includes: Legislative and Policy Reform; Litigation and Legal Services and Education and Research.

South African animal protection laws are not adequate to address the scale of abuse, particularly institutional and systemic abuses. Where laws exist, implementation is weak, and punishment rare.
Increasingly, there is a recognition that the injustices in human history are not limited to humans; other creatures too are the subject of cruelty. Part of shifting understanding is for humans to recognize the historical manner in which animals have been treated, often without adequately considering their interests and lives.

Utilising the law as our tool, we work on intersectional issues to ensure justice for all that require it. Through education, collaboration, research and access, we believe we can achieve incremental change for vulnerable beings and ensure that their interests are accounted for in the legal system
