A Pig’s Tail: How Europe is moving beyond routine tail docking

Document type: report published by The Animal Law Foundation

Author: Animal Law Foundation

Preview: A comparative analysis of legal measures used to combat tail docking in Europe and how the UK is falling behind. 
This report examines a critical question: if routine tail docking is prohibited in law, why does it remain so prevalent in practice in the United Kingdom? In addressing this question, The Animal Law Foundation has undertaken a detailed and evidence-led comparative analysis of legal frameworks and farming practices across several European jurisdictions.
