  This book addresses one of today’s most urgent issues: the loss of wildlife and habitat, which together constitute an ecological crisis. Combining studies from different disciplines such as law, political science and criminology with a focus on animal rights, the chapters explore the successes and failures of the international wildlife conservation and trade treaties, CITES and the BERN Convention. While these conventions have played a crucial role in protecting endangered species from trade and in the rewilding of European large carnivores, the case studies in this book demonstrate huge variations in their implementation and enforcement across Europe. In conclusion, the book advocates for a non-anthropocentric policy approach to strengthen wildlife conservation in Europe.

  Wolves and brown bears are critically endangered in Norway. Their population is approximately 110 and 150 individuals, respectively, and is kept at these low numbers through licensed hunts. These animals are also vulnerable to illegal theriocides (killings of animals by humans), which poses a considerable threat to the species’ survival. The theriocides also harm individual animal victims and impinge on their intrinsic value. This article assesses whether a consideration of harm to the individual animals is part of the Norwegian courts’ problem definition and discourse order concerning such illegal hunts by developing and conducting a “critical green victimological discourse analysis” of verdicts. Moreover, the courts’ portrayals of the victims are assessed—by asking the question: do they acknowledge them as such, or continue the speciesist ideology of the Anthropocene, seeing animals mainly as commodities and components of nature?

  Drawing on qualitative interviews with dog owners and police officers, this article discusses the ban against "dangerous dogs" in Norway. The Norwegian breed ban in The Dog Regulation (hundeforskriften) is shown to have considerable negative influence on affected dogs’ lives, even if their owners do their best to compensate for this. Labeling, stigmatization and risk of confiscation by the police has restricted aspects of the dogs’ lives, such as by complicating their opportunities to be with fellow species. The impact of breed-specific legislation on dogs is analyzed from a critical, anti-speciesist perspective, which sees modern Western societies and their judicial systems as characterized by an inherent discriminatory culture and order. This oppression entails both differential treatment of disadvantaged humans’ and humans’ repressive and differentiating attitudes and actions towards other animals.

  In her PhD project "Large predator management versus the intrinsic value of animals," Martine S.B. Lie investigates Norwegian large predator management. The large predators are all endangered, and Norway is committed through the Bern Convention to protect them. Nevertheless, the government issues annual licensed and quota hunts. A central question in the project concerns the courts as an arena for the predator conflict, since environmental NGO’s employ strategic litigation to stop wolf hunts. Is this a promising strategy? Martine will present her preliminary findings and reflections, based on observation in court, analysis of verdicts and interviews with the litigative NGOs.

  Bergen Exchanges is an integrated part of the annual PhD course on “Effects of Lawfare: courts and law as battlegrounds for social change”. A central aim of the course - and OF the #BeEx - is to develop a learning environment that is horizontal, interdisciplinary, and collegial, and that stimulates intellectual creativity and growth. Every year we seek to make improvements based on what we learn from the students and the #BeEx participants. In this roundtable, current and past students from the PhD-course will discuss their experiences of the course, how it can be improved - and more broadly how we can advance student-led learning and teaching on democracy and law. How can students be enabled to learn – and teach – in ways that stimulate engaged, critical thinking, and provides useful resources for defending, reassessing, and enhancing democratic values? And that combines insights into liberal democracy with critical openness to other epistemologies and traditions of democratic thought? At a time when democracy, human rights, and liberal values such as academic freedom, are under increasing pressure – also in what has long been considered as consolidated democracies – these are urgent issues and require universities across the globe to rethink learning and teaching of democracy and law.

  » Illegal jakt er en betydelig trussel mot ulv og bjørns overlevelse i Norge. Det er forsket mye på «tjuvjakt», mens spontane illegale rovdyrdrap har fått mindre oppmerksomhet. I denne presentasjonen undersøker jeg hvorfor slike rovdyrdrap skjer, basert på en analyse av dommer fra norske domstoler. Analysen tar utgangspunkt i «Situasjonell handlingsteori», og viser hvordan lovlig rovdyrjakt kan bidra til ulovlige rovdyrdrap. De domfelte ser også ut til å ha blitt påvirket av bekjente i handlingsøyeblikket.

  Bastøya i Oslofjorden huser både en villrevbestand og «verdens snilleste fengsel». Det har utviklet seg et unikt samspill mellom de innsatte og revene, og revene trekkes fram som en trivselsfaktor for de innsatte. Vi presenterer de positive sidene ved revebestanden på fengselsøya basert på data fra et større etnografisk forskningsprosjekt om helse i fengsel. Situasjonen og fengselets håndtering av den har imidlertid også problematiske sider, som vi belyser med perspektiver fra grønn kriminologi.

  Ulv og brunbjørn er henholdsvis kritisk truet og truet i Norge, og vernet gjennom Bernkonvensjonen (the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats). Selv om Norge ratifiserte konvensjonen i 1979 blir ulv og bjørn stadig tatt av dage i Norge, blant annet under lisensjakt, illegal jakt og i nødverge, for å hindre dyrene i å angripe mennesker eller andre dyr. Jeg presenterer en komparativ analyse av norske domsavsigelser om ulovlig bjørne- og ulvejakt, og reguleringer og veiledninger for lovlig jakt. Analysen avdekker flere likheter mellom den lovlige og ulovlige jakten. Dette reiser spørsmål om hvorvidt den lovlige jakten kan rettferdiggjøres som mer «artsrettferdig» enn den ulovlige jakten, om man anlegger et bredt dyrevelferdsperspektiv—altså, fører lovlig jakt til mindre lidelse for ofrene enn illegal jakt? Jeg vil også evaluere om lidelsen for dyrene er del av domstolenes diskursorden angående illegal jakt. Anerkjenner domstolene dem som ofre i dommene, eller viderefører dommerne den spesiesistiske ideologien i Antropocen, hvor dyr hovedsakelig regnes som varer eller bestanddeler av naturen, og ikke individer?
