About our mission


WE HELP CREATE A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR GLOBAL DISCUSSION ON ANIMALS IN LAW.

The aim of GAL is to help create a new framework for global discussion on
animals in law. GAL is an independent and worldwide pioneering authority for the
health and protection of animals through the law.

The global approach of GAL encompasses the concept of "One Health/One Welfare" -
the health of humans, animals and the environment are strongly interconnected,
and we must live together in harmony for sustainable global health. The health
of animals is understood as a state of complete physical, mental and social
welfare.
