“…Tal y como destacan las notas de prensa de la Guardia Civil, el comercio ilegal de especies silvestres daña a los especímenes que son víctimas del tráfico (véase también Beirne, 2018;Maher & Sollund, 2016;Sollund, 2011Sollund, , 2019Wyatt, 2022). Por ejemplo, del caso de Roc Falcon descrito anteriormente, el informe veterinario del caso destacó que las instalaciones de cría carecían de medidas de higiene y salubridad, que los especímenes no disponían de agua potable, que alguno presentaba un estado avanzado de caquexia, que varios ejemplares presentaban heridas en las patas compatibles con la enfermedad de los clavos y que se encontró un congelador con 6 aves falconiformes congeladas, junto con ratones y otros especímenes que servían de alimento a las aves del centro.…”

“…Aún y así, se debe tener en cuenta que las cifras pueden ser mayores, ya que hay una menor implicación de recursos en detectar el comercio ilegal de especies silvestres y por ende la cifra negra puede ser mayor al considerarse un delito de baja prioridad 1 (Fajardo, 2016a;Wyatt, 2022;WWF, 2018). Por lo consiguiente, los expertos lo señalan como uno de los mercados ilícitos más grandes (Beirne, 2018;Wyatt, 2022). Aunque no hay evidencia concreta de cuál sería el orden, el World Bank (2019) asemeja el valor económico del tráfico de especies silvestres al de drogas y personas.…”

El tráfico de especies afecta a la mayoría de las naciones del mundo ya sea a través de la oferta, el tránsito o la demanda de vida silvestre. Sin embargo, la investigación empírica sobre este delito en España es prácticamente inexistente. A través de un análisis de contenido de los datos disponibles en las notas de prensa de la Guardia Civil, en Wildlife Trade Portal y en documentos gubernamentales y no gubernamentales, artículos académicos y reportajes periodísticos, se explora el papel de España en este mercado ilegal. El estudio señala que España no solo tiene un papel fundamental en toda la cadena de suministro, sino que las especies son traficadas por una amplia variedad de motivos (desde el coleccionismo hasta los alimentos de lujo). En la discusión, este artículo visibiliza los daños que se genera a los animales no humanos. Ello ayuda a subrayar la necesidad de investigar el comercio de vida silvestre en España y en los demás países, tanto en su dimensión legal como ilegal.

“…Green criminologists have addressed nonhuman animal rights from a variety of approaches, but, as noted, have not addressed the use of legal theory and procedures as the basis for those rights. A connection to a legalistic approach has been generated in a handful of green criminological studies that address the legal concept of personhood (see Beirne 1995Beirne , 2018Beirne , 2021Flynn and Hall 2017;Nurse 2016aNurse , 2016b. That connection is important to the extent that it can form the basis for engagement in legal activism, and for exploring the connection between green criminology, legal activism and obtaining rights for nonhuman animals.…”

Writs of Habeas Corpus for Nonhuman Primates in the United States and the Nonhuman Rights Project: Legal Processes and Arguments Used to Secure Nonhuman Animal Rights

Questions concerning (nonhuman) animal rights have been increasingly addressed within the criminological literature due to growing interest in green criminology. Often within criminology, animal rights issues have been primarily addressed from philosophical standpoints, which omit how animal rights are addressed in more concrete terms through the legal system. This philosophical orientation toward animal rights, while important, has led to a neglect of the ways in which animal rights might be promoted through legal means. This article addresses that latter point by exploring the use of writs of habeas corpus for animals promoted by Steven Wise and the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) in the US. Much of the NhRP’s efforts have been devoted to nonhuman primates, and consistent with that approach, this assessment focuses attention on legal efforts to protect nonhuman primates’ rights. In addition to NhRP efforts, other possibilities for using the law to obtain rights for animals in the US are examined. While this article focuses on circumstances in the US, several nations employ such writs or similar legal mechanisms.

“…The social, cultural and legal acceptability of violence against animals has grown as a topic of social science exploration (Cudworth, 2015;Peggs, 2013). Scholars have long been arguing that harm to animals should be an area of concern for criminologists and have developed explicitly non-speciesist positions around the harms of animal exploitation and murder (Beirne, 1999(Beirne, , 2018Flynn and Hall, 2017;Nurse and Wyatt, 2020;Sollund, 2011Sollund, , 2020. Fundamentally, these perspectives are united in the view that animals have rights to be treated with respect.…”

“…Green criminology is a well-established and diverse field of study, which is in no-way monolithic, and which reflects an increasingly broad range of political and ethical perspectives (Lynch, 1990;Lynch and Stretsky, 2003;South, 1998;White, 2008White, , 2011. Brevity precludes an in-depth discussion of its various competing traditions and tenets, however, it is important to situate this work within a critical green criminological tradition which explicitly opposes violence against animals (Beirne, 2018;Nurse and Wyatt, 2020;Sollund, 2020). It is this tradition which provides the impetus for the green-cultural criminological approach adopted here -an approach which therefore seeks to expand green criminology's explicit rejection of animal exploitation, into explorations of the 'cultural' realm, and directs focus onto acts of transgression, contestation and defiance to hegemonic carnist, speciesist logics (Beirne, 2018;Joy, 2010).…”

Biting back: A green-cultural criminology of animal liberation struggle as constructed through online communiques

This article conceptualises animal liberation direct action in green-cultural criminological terms. To do this, it draws on Johnston and Johnston’s methodological approach and undertakes qualitative content analysis of animal liberation communiqués published on the website, Bite Back. Whilst a significant body of scholarly literature has discussed animal liberation struggles, this article develops an understanding of these often-criminal acts and events within a cultural criminological context. Findings from this analysis reveal three themes. First, activists variously resist and embrace the state and media’s ‘terrorisation’ and discursive delegitimating of animal liberation struggle. Activists wilfully play on the framing of themselves as terrorists. Second, activists are also able to re-contextualise what might otherwise be seen as minor, apolitical events into a much broader liberation struggle. Third, animal liberation activism is frequently and explicitly connected to other emancipatory struggles. To conclude, the article argues that animal liberation activists engage in direct action on a local level, and strategically promote hyper localised instances of direct action globally through online communiqués. In doing so, animal liberation activists engage in a ‘prefigurative integration’ of what might otherwise be dismissed as isolated hyper local ‘petty events’ within a global struggle against violence, exploitation and oppression.
