A second Trump administration could alter the lives of all sorts of animals, whether they live in laboratories, zoos, fields or forests.<\/p>\n

President-elect Donald J. Trump has promised to remake the federal government, an undertaking that could have far-reaching consequences for hundreds of millions of Americans and countless other people around the world.<\/p>\n

But the policy choices and the priorities of the second Trump administration will also have profound effects on animals. \u201cThe federal government dictates a lot about the lives of all different kinds of animals,\u201d said Ann Linder, an associate director at Harvard University\u2019s animal law and policy program, \u201cwhether those are wild animals living free in nature, whether those are farmed animals living in intense confinement, whether those are monkeys or beagles in research laboratories.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s campaign promises, emerging cabinet selections and first-term record have worried many experts like Ms. Linder. \u201cI expect the second Trump term to be harmful to animals in many ways,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s first term offered a few bright spots for animal welfare, such as a new law making certain forms of extreme animal abuse a federal crime. But in general, experts said, the administration put the interests of industry over those of animals. That pattern is expected to continue, given Mr. Trump\u2019s pledge to slash government regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very concerned that deregulation can come at the expense of animals,\u201d said Nancy Blaney, the director of government affairs at the nonprofit Animal Welfare Institute.<\/p>\n
