Adolfo Sansolini
Adolfo Sansolini (born 15 November 1966) is an Italian animal welfare activist.
Animal welfare activities
Sansolini began his animal welfare activities at age 11.[citation needed]
In 1980, he joined Italy's leading animal welfare non-governmental organization, LAV [it]. He was active with the group for 25 years in various roles from local representative to National President.[citation needed]
Since 2006, Sansolini has represented international animal welfare organisations at the United Nations, FAO,[1] the WTO,[2] and works with governments around the world.[3]
In 2012, he coordinated the collection of over one million signatures for the "8 hours" petition against the long-distance transport of animals sent for slaughter in the EU,[4] and the adoption of a Written Declaration in its support by the European Parliament in 2013.[5]
In 2016, working on behalf of Belgian organisation GAIA, Sansolini put the issue of force-feeding in foie gras production on the political agenda of EU institutions.[6]
Sansolini authored the chapter “El bienestar animal y la comercialización” (“Animal Welfare and Trade”) in the textbook for Latin American Universities Bienestar Animal – Producción y calidad de la carne, (“Animal Welfare – Meat production and quality”).[7]
Political life
In 2016, he campaigned for Remain in the build-up to the Brexit referendum.[8]
