Executive summary: Convergence Animaux Politique (CAP) is a French charity that aims to change laws in favor of animals by bringing animal NGOs together to lobby politicians and create a network of political allies, leading to reduced animal suffering.
Key points:
Animal protection requires changing institutionalized practices and frameworks through collective political action.
CAP addresses weaknesses in the French animal movement, such as lack of lobbying, differing NGO agendas, and politicians’ fear of marginalization.
CAP’s main strategies include obtaining meetings with politicians, organizing events for NGOs and politicians to network, advising NGOs on political actions, and initiating collective campaigns.
These actions aim to reduce political opposition, increase politicians’ willingness and ability to act for animals, and make animal protection a legitimate political issue.
The ultimate goal is to change laws to save animal lives and reduce animal suffering, with successful law changes feeding back into the process to legitimize further action.
