Description
Annick Hus, Steven McCulloch, and Laura Reese study what Irish parties promise about animal welfare, in a 2024 paper. Ireland sells more beef abroad than any other EU state and earns much from milk, while horse racing holds a firm place in its culture. The team ask how much space party plans gave to animal care across three elections.
They read 364 statements from five parties in the 2011, 2016, and 2020 plans. Pledges on animal care grew in number and warmth over the decade, and the two big parties shifted their tone. The Green Party pushed the boldest plans throughout. Farm animal care, wildlife, and racing drew the most pledges, while the puppy trade drew few. The study is the first full map of this topic in Irish party plans.
