Join Animal Advocacy and Protection (AAP) at the European Parliament in Brussels for a high-level event hosted by Niels Fuglsang MEP bringing together EU policymakers, experts, and civil society to launch the #WildAnimalsNotPets campaign. This initiative advocates for the introduction of a Positive List — a scientifically grounded tool to ensure only species deemed safe and suitable can be kept as pets in the EU.
This event will mark the launch of the AAP Dashboard and Report, offering a comparative European perspective on exotic pet ownership and the transformative role of Positive Lists in Member States where they are already in place.
Speakers to include:
- Niels Fuglsang MEP
- Manuela Ripa MEP
- Michèle Hamers – Animal welfare scientist and EU policy officer, AAP
- Nicholas Clark – Programme Leader for Wildlife, Eurogroup for Animals
