Duty of Care Failure

Cases where a clear statutory responsibility to protect the public was missed or handled far too late. We review early warnings alongside internal decision logs. This allows us to establish exactly when that specific duty arose and precisely why the institutional response fell so short.

    The EU Animal Welfare Enforcement Gap – A Critical Analysis of Policy Failures

    Food and Veterinary Office audits routinely record 99 per cent non-compliance in European pig farms, yet statutory infringement proceedings remain unused. We examine the broken data chain linking farm inspections to agricultural subsidies.
