A new law on the protection of the life, safety and welfare of animals was passed yesterday afternoon in the Luxembourg Chamber of Deputies.
This new law aims to protect animals while ensuring their dignity, safety and well-being at every stage of their lives. The legislative text defines animal welfare as a state of comfort and physiological and psychological balance of an animal, characterised by a good state of health, sufficient comfort, a good nutritional state, the possibility of expression of natural behaviour and a state of security, as well as the absence of suffering.
The Luxembourg Minister of Agriculture, Viticulture and Consumer Protection Fernand Etgen emphasised that the text was developed after extensive consultation with stakeholders such as animal welfare organisations, while also taking into account the evolution of scientific knowledge.
