Dear John,

Save the date for the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Virtual Animal Law Symposium: COVID-19 and Animals. This two-day online event will feature panels on zoonotic diseases and COVID-19, factory farming and the realities of our food system, our problematic relationship with animals in captivity, and COVID-19 policy recommendations.

Over the past year, the Animal Legal Defense Fund has developed a series of papers outlining policy strategies designed to reduce specific zoonotic risks. Read the first two papers in the series on our website and join us in April to learn more.

Date: April 23 – 24, 2021
Location: Online

I hope you can join us for this timely discussion of the intersection between animal exploitation and zoonotic disease.
