International “Best Practice”: Operation of Different ‘Animal Police’ in the World

Abstract

This thesis investigates the operational frameworks and strategies employed by animal law enforcement agencies in the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, and the United States of America. By examining their financial, legal, and socio-economic dimensions, our objective is to discern the distinct methodologies adopted by each nation in promoting animal welfare. Through a comparative analysis, we endeavor to pinpoint the optimal practices in managing animal law enforcement agencies, which could serve as a blueprint for other nations.
