Knowledge is power. Empower yourself.
AnimalLaw.ie sets out to provide a general introduction to legislation in force in the Republic of Ireland that provides protection to animals to improve awareness of that legislation. Better enforcement of existing animal law will deter those who abuse or neglect animals and over time will bring about changes in attitudes, behaviours and improve the way animals are treated in Ireland. AnimalLaw.ie seeks to remove perceived complexity, increase knowledge of our Gardaí, our elected representatives and the general public and empower each of us to effect change.
