Pakistan is planning to introduce international animal rights law as a university-level subject for the first time in 2026. This new course will be taught at Kinnaird Law School as a full undergraduate semester course.
The program will focus on global animal law, how animal protection laws are applied in different countries, and how these laws work in real-world situations. It will also highlight the weaknesses and gaps in Pakistan’s current legal system when it comes to protecting animals.
The main goal of this initiative is to move the discussion of animal welfare beyond court cases and into classrooms. By doing so, it aims to educate and train future lawyers to understand animal rights as an important and serious area of law, rather than a side issue.
This step comes after many years of legal activism and advocacy by lawyers and animal rights supporters who have been pushing for stronger animal protection laws in Pakistan. Supporters believe that teaching animal law at the university level will help create better-informed legal professionals and contribute to long-term legal reforms.
