Animal Rights Law: For or Against - Interview series

While the COVID-19 pandemic has unfortunately meant that our Centre had to postpone the events planned for the Easter Term, we are pleased to announce that we have been working on a series of online interviews that you can listen to from the safety and comfort of your homes. The interviews, on the theme β€œAnimal Rights Law: For or Against”, will be conducted with the following senior academics and lawyers working on animal rights and welfare law: Simon Brooman (Liverpool John Moores University), Richard Cupp (Pepperdine University School of Law), David Favre (Michigan State University), Jeff Kerr (PETA Foundation), Jonathan Lovvorn (Yale Law School), and Paula Sparks (A-Law). The interviews will be released weekly on our website and will cover various issues, such as the way forward: welfare, rights, or a third approach; the challenges facing animal rights law; the concept of animal rights law as compared with the concept of animal welfare law; issues within animal rights law which may make it more or less feasible as a direction of travel; and questions surrounding the legal status of animals.
