Animals have a special status under Dutch law and since 2013 are no longer considered to be property. The Netherlands is also home to the world’s first political party devoted to animal rights. At the same time, the country is a world leader in factory farming and meat exports, with a livestock population of hundreds of millions of farm animals.
An animal does not have a voice in court. At Rubicon Impact & Litigation, we advocate on behalf of animals and organisations that promote their rights, ensuring their voices are heard and their causes are represented in both civil and regulatory matters.
