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

Critical Caselaw: Judicial Recognition of Animal Sentience – September 17 th
[[link removed]]

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 [[link removed]] .

I hope you can join us!

For the animals,

Stephen Wells
Executive Director
