Dear Law Students,

Captive Aquatic Animals in Public Aquariums Webinar

Join me and Animal Legal Defense Fund Litigation Fellow Alexandra Monson for this free webinar as we discuss the legal issues associated with fin fishes and whales exhibited in public aquariums, as these animals make up the majority of aquatic animals held in captivity. This webinar discusses everything from capture, breeding, and transport, covering these aquatic animals’ lives (and deaths) in aquariums.

Screen the Film Game Changers

Game Changers is a revolutionary new documentary about meat, protein, and strength. It tells the story of James Wilks — elite Special Forces trainer and The Ultimate Fighter winner — as he travels the world on a quest to uncover the optimal diet for human performance. Contact me if your chapter is interested the film, and apply for a project grant to cover the cost of the screening fee and plant-based food for the event.
