Dear John,

Using Local Legislation to Protect Animals: Fur Bans – August 20th

Learn how to fight back against the cruel fur industry by passing a fur ban in your community! Animals farmed for their fur endure horrific abuse before being killed through gassing, electrocution, neck-breaking, and poisoning. Led by Animal Legal Defense Fund Campaigns Manager Elizabeth Holtz, this webinar will walk you through the mechanics of fur production, the policy issues, including animal cruelty, environmental impacts, and public health, as well as a round-up of existing international, state, and local laws prohibiting the sale of fur.

Impact Report: Quarter Two 2020 — August 26th

This year has been busy for the Animal Legal Defense Fund! Join Stephen Wells, Executive Director, and Kathleen Schatzmann, Senior Legislative Affairs Manager, as they discuss current cases and projects, plus what’s planned for the rest of the year, with special focus on the Legislative Affairs Program.

Critical Caselaw: Judicial Recognition of Animal Sentience – September 17th

Sentience — being a living, feeling creature — forms the very core of what it means to be an animal. Indeed, the ability to feel is what distinguishes animals from objects — it makes animals ‘whos’, not ‘whats.’ Join Animal Legal Defense Fund Senior Staff Attorneys Jamie Contreras and David B. Rosengard as they discuss how the legal system treats animal sentience and how a trilogy of Oregon cases recognizing animal sentience points towards a new framework for animals within the law.

All webinars are available to stream shortly after airing. Check out previously recorded webinars, including How to Advocate for Animals With or Without a Law Degree: Community Organizing for Farmed Animals, and Protecting Big Cats, on our website.

I hope you can join us!

For the animals,

Stephen Wells
Executive Director
