Dear Law Professionals,

Happy New Year! We'd like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who
supported our many successful efforts in 2019. Our law professional members
donated thousands of pro bono hours, signed critical action alerts, served on
animal law bar sections and committees, raised awareness for pressing animal
issues, organized fundraisers, wrote letters to the editor, and much more. Now
let's accomplish even more in 2020!

Here are a few opportunities you can explore to help start the new year off
right.

Using Local Legislation to Protect Animals Webinar TOMORROW!

Learn how wild animals are exploited in circuses and traveling shows, and how
you can help! The first part of this webinar [[link removed]] focuses on the cruelty and safety issues surrounding the use of wild animals in
live performances, as well as a round-up of existing state and local laws
already prohibiting these inhumane shows. During the second half of the webinar,
attendees will learn how to pass a local law prohibiting the use of wild animals
in circuses in their own city or county. Animal Legal Defense Fund Campaigns
Manager Elizabeth Holtz will walk you through the steps to passing a ban, as
well as share tips that can be applied to any local legislative campaign.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund is Hiring a Staff Attorney

The staff attorney [[link removed]] will focus exclusively on litigation that advances the interests of farmed
animals in industrial agriculture. This growing docket within our Litigation
Program utilizes environmental law, administrative law, and novel legal theories
at the state and federal levels to challenge the practices that enable factory
farm operators to exploit animals, the environment, and rural communities.

For the animals,

Tom Linney, J.D.
Pro Bono Director
