The animal question calls for a new legal imagination.

CEDA Chile is the country’s first study center devoted to Animal Law. We advance its doctrinal, legislative, and jurisprudential development through a rigorous and ethical understanding of the animal question.

We coordinate research, academic activities, and collective publications that bring knowledge to specialists and to those beginning to examine the relationship among law, power, and animals.
