How Do Animals Fit in Our Legal System?

How Do Animals Fit in Our Legal System?

When: May 20, 2027

Location: Live online

Host: Justice Clearinghouse

Delivery: online

In this thought-provoking and informative session, Betsy Biffl will discuss the many roles animals play in our lives—and how those roles shape the way the legal system treats them. We’ll explore how protections (and penalties) can vary dramatically depending on whether the animal is a companion, used for research, a farmed animal, wildlife, or a so-called “nuisance” animal. Whether you work in enforcement, advocacy, academia, or the courts, this session will broaden the way you think about animals’ places in the legal system.
