Dear John,
We have an exciting slate of free webinars scheduled for the next month! Secure your spot and register today to learn from the country’s top experts in animal law.
Why Pandemics Happen: COVID-19 – April 20th
Two-thirds of human infectious diseases are shared with animals and the majority of these are from wild species. Join Stephen Wells, Animal Legal Defense Fund Executive Director, and Dr. Billy Karesh, EcoHealth Alliance Executive Vice President for Health and Policy, for a conversation on this timely topic.
Messaging a Movement — April 22nd
The language we use to talk about animals, and the animal protection movement, can have a significant influence on how an audience receives and interprets the information we are trying to convey. This webinar will examine common vernacular that could have unintended consequences — and how to position animal issues for success.
Using Local Legislation to Protect Animals: Prohibiting Circuses and Traveling Shows That Exploit Animals – April 30th
Learn how wild animals are exploited in circuses and traveling shows, and how you can help! Attendees will learn how to pass a local law prohibiting the use of wild animals in circuses in their own city or county as well as tips that can be applied to any local legislative campaign.
Factory Farms: Generating Environmental Injustice in North Carolina – May 12th
Industrial animal agriculture is responsible for animal suffering, pollution, and a range of environmental impacts, but government at most levels decline to regulate this industry. Learn about the carefully-carved legal loopholes that allow factory farms to operate with limited protections for animals, the environment, or surrounding communities, and about how residents—and others—are fighting back.
All webinars are available to stream shortly after airing. Check out previously recorded webinars—covering topics ranging from puppy mills to aquatic animals—on our website.
I hope you can join us!
