Vindicating Pierson v. Post’s ‘Saucy Intruder’: Of Wildlife Crimes & Crimes
Against Wildlife — December 16 th
[[link removed]]

Join David Rosengard, Animal Legal Defense Fund senior staff attorney, for a
discussion regarding wildlife crimes, crimes against wildlife — and the subtle
but significant difference between the two.

Beginning with a look at the venerable history of wildlife law, we will explore
how traditional approaches fail to account for the experience of the animals
themselves, as well as the fundamental nature of animal cruelty laws. As we
search for answers, we discover that justice — and raison d’être of modern
cruelty statutes — call for the law to be deployed in order to shield wildlife
from unlawful suffering at human hands.

Animal Victims and Restorative Justice
[[link removed]]

Restorative justice is not a new concept, but it largely has not been applied in
animal crimes. In this webinar, Brittany Hill, Criminal Justice Program Fellow,
introduces the audience to restorative justice, provides a general overview of
the theories behind it, discusses its potential impact on animal victims, and
explores its possibilities in crimes against animals.

I hope you can join us!

For the animals,

Stacey Gordon Sterling
Animal Law Program Director
