The Case of the Frankenchicken with Edie Bowles 38:05

منذ 5 أيام38:05

38:05

Edie Bowles, the Managing Director of UK law firm Advocates for Animals, joins us on this episode to help us understand what appears to be a groundbreaking decision in animal welfare law that involves one of the most widespread and egregious practices in industrial animal agriculture, the breeding of factory-farmed chickens raised for meat in ways that cause unbelievable suffering. At first glance, this case may not look like a win for animals, but on closer examination, it appears that the court has done something extraordinary that could have substantial ramifications for the lives of the most widely abused animals in the world: chickens. Key Discussion Points: The interpretation of UK welfare regulations for industrial chicken farming How Paragraph 29 challenges fast-growing chicken breeds The role of the RSPCA’s research in legal proceedings Enforcement mechanisms for animal welfare laws The future of chicken breeding practices in agriculture Private prosecution options in UK animal law ABOUT OUR GUEST Edie is a solicitor and the managing director of Advocates for Animals . She has advised almost all of the main animal protection organizations, smaller organizations, and individuals across all animal protection laws and campaigning. She often speaks on animal protection issues and has done so in the UK Parliament, the French Sénat, and the East African Legislative Assembly.

The Case of the Thirsty Elk: Saving Point Reyes’ Tule Elk with Chris Green and Rebecca Garverman 1:10:56

منذ 5 weeks1:10:56

1:10:56

Chris Green and Rebecca Garverman join us this week to talk about a case that managed to catch the attention not only of the public at large but of a number of lawyers and, after a great deal of hard work, resulted in a historic victory. You may have heard about the plight of the Tule elk at Point Reyes National Seashore. These extraordinary animals, native to California, are lucky enough, or at least apparently so, to reside in a staggeringly beautiful national park. In spite of this, for years, they have been dying because their access to forage and, most importantly, water has been blocked by, of all unimaginable things, an 8-foot fence put there so that dairy farms could continue to use the land and the water instead. This is an amazing story involving so much hard work by so many people that, mirabile dictu , produced a phenomenal result: the removal of the fence and phase-out of most cattle and dairy operations from the park. Key Discussion Points: Point Reyes National Seashore’s native Tule elk population faced mass deaths when trapped behind fence protecting dairy farms Harvard Animal Law & Policy Clinic challenged National Park Service’s failure to protect elk dying from lack of water access Legal battle combined with media attention led to historic December 2023 victory: removal of 8-foot fence at Point Reyes January 2024 settlement phases out most dairy operations, with Nature Conservancy’s $30 million buyout protecting 16,000 acres for wildlife Victory allows California’s Tule elk to roam freely at Point Reyes National Seashore for the first time since 1978 ABOUT OUR GUESTS Chris Green, Executive Director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Fellow with the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, is a leading authority in animal law and policy. After founding ALDF’s Legislative Affairs Program, he served as inaugural Executive Director of Harvard Law School’s Brooks McCormick Jr. Animal Law & Policy Program. His achievements include defeating Ag-Gag legislation, implementing wildlife protection policies, and advancing non-lethal animal encounter training for law enforcement. A Harvard Law graduate and recipient of the American Bar Association’s Award for Excellence in the Advancement of Animal Law, Green regularly testifies on animal protection legislation and is frequently quoted in major media outlets. Rebecca Garverman is a Massachusetts-licensed, Boston-based Staff Attorney. She works for the NhRP exploring new legal rights for nonhuman animals. Previously, Rebecca served as a Staff Attorney for Harvard Law School’s Animal Law & Policy Clinic and worked in private practice as a corporate attorney at Goodwin Procter. Rebecca is also a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Animal Law Practice Group. She holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School and a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Rebecca has presented oral arguments to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals as well as the Western District of New York.

The Case of the Cultivated Chicken with Paul Sherman 1:05:17

منذ 10 weeks1:05:17

1:05:17

Paul Sherman, senior attorney with the public interest law firm The Institute for Justice, joins us this week to discuss the legal battle over cultivated meat in Florida. Paul is leading the landmark lawsuit brought by UPSIDE Foods, challenging Florida’s controversial statute that criminalizes (criminalizes!) the production and sale of USDA-approved cultivated meat products in the state. This pivotal case examines constitutional challenges to state food regulation through both the dormant commerce clause and federal preemption arguments. Key questions include: Does cultivated chicken meet the federal definition of poultry? How does the federal Poultry Products Inspection Act affect producers’ rights? And can states ban products that federal regulators have deemed safe? Key Discussion Points: Federal preemption of state food safety regulations Interstate commerce implications for cultivated meat USDA approval process for novel food products State restrictions on food technology innovation Legal framework for challenging state food bans ABOUT OUR GUEST Paul Sherman is a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, where he champions individual rights and constitutional protections through groundbreaking litigation. Specializing in First Amendment cases and economic liberty, Sherman leads significant legal challenges including UPSIDE Foods’ fight against Florida’s cultivated meat ban and cases defending plant-based meat alternatives’ advertising rights. His work at the nonprofit public-interest law firm focuses on challenging restrictive occupational-licensing laws that burden free speech and defending individual liberties in both federal and state courts. Sherman holds a law degree from George Washington University Law School and degrees in political campaigning and political science from the University of Florida.

Animal Law Podcast 114: The Case of the Not-So-Clean Water Act 1:00:53

منذ 14 weeks1:00:53

1:00:53

Emily Miller of Food and Water Watch joins us to talk about Food and Water Watch v EPA , which involves the Clean Water Act and why, when it comes to one particular industry (guess which one!), it is so ineffective in guarding our water from being polluted with outright filth. Whether it comes to the failure to require factory farms to get permits or failure to ensure the factory farm permits that do exist are actually protective of water quality, the Clean Water Act and the Environmental Protection Agency, which is charged with enforcing it, are failing to live up to their names, and too often the courts are failing as well. ABOUT OUR GUEST Emily Miller is a Staff Attorney at the national advocacy organization Food & Water Watch. Emily primarily focuses on legal strategies to address factory farm air and water pollution harming frontline communities, the environment, and the climate. She is based in Colorado.

Animal Law Podcast 113: The Case of the Cows Who Sought Sanctuary 1:19:00

منذ 18 weeks1:19:00

1:19:00

Wayne Hsiung and Justin Marceau are joining us on this episode to talk about the criminal prosecution of Tracy Murphy, founder and director of Asha’s Farm Sanctuary in Newfane, New York, for supposedly stealing two cows who wandered onto her property seeking, you guessed it, sanctuary. You have probably heard of this case, but maybe, like me, you don’t know much about the legal issues or even what really happened. Happily, after two years of hideous stress and significant harassment, Tracy was recently cleared when the charges against her were dismissed. While that is great news, it also means that the case did not go to trial, and we never really heard the full story of what happened or why the law was clearly on her side. Fortunately, Justin and Wayne are here to get into the details of the facts and the relevant law and to talk about the meaning of this case in the fight against animal abuse. ABOUT OUR GUESTS Justin Marceau is a Professor of Law and the Faculty Director of the Animal Law Program at the University of Denver. Justin authored or co-authored three books with Cambridge University Press. Marceau also co-founded and helps direct a first-of-its-kind law school clinic, the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project, which provides activists with representation in criminal and civil litigation. Justin serves on the board of a number of entities, including the non-human rights project and the Luvin Arms farm sanctuary, as well as the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights. He is also an active member of several working groups for the Brooks Institute for animal rights law and policy. Wayne Hsiung is an animal cruelty investigator, former faculty member at Northwestern School of Law, and co-founder and Executive Director of The Simple Heart Initiative. He has led teams that have investigated and rescued animals from factory farms and slaughterhouses across the nation – challenging unconstitutional “ag-gag” laws in the process – and has organized successful campaigns to ban fur in San Francisco and California . He served as lead counsel (and, sometimes, defendant) in four “right to rescue” trials in which activists were prosecuted after being charged for giving aid to sick and dying animals in factory farms, garnering media attention from The New York Times . He is also a co-founder and former lead organizer of the grassroots animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere. He is the proud parent of Oliver, who was rescued from the dog meat trade .

Animal Law Podcast 112: The Case of the Monster Dairy 54:48

منذ 23 weeks54:48

54:48

On this episode, I will be speaking about a topic that is crucial to the fight against factory farms, i.e., zoning. My guest is Holly Bainbridge, an attorney with FarmSTAND, a legal advocacy organization dedicated solely to taking on industrial animal agriculture. She will be telling us about Daley Farm v. County of Winona , which involves an already huge Minnesota dairy that is trying, in spite of zoning laws that would ostensibly prohibit it from doing so, to turn itself into a super mega-dairy. It turns out that some of the people in the small community where it’s located are really not ok with this for a whole host of reasons, believe that their zoning laws exist for very good reasons, and are fighting back. ABOUT OUR GUESTS Holly Bainbridge is a Staff Attorney with FarmSTAND, where she litigates cases to increase transparency in the food system and challenge industrial agricultural practices that harm people, animals, and the environment. Prior to joining FarmSTAND, Holly was a litigator at Animal Legal Defense Fund, where she focused on improving government oversight of industrial animal agriculture.

Animal Law Podcast 111: A Lamb to the (Botched) Slaughter 56:39

منذ 27 weeks56:39

56:39

Two lawyers who are at the forefront of some of the new directions in which animal law is developing join us once again on this episode. Will Lowrey of Animal Partisan and Chris Carraway of the University of Denver’s Animal Activist Legal Defense Project will join me to discuss another innovative and exciting chapter in the effort to use cruelty laws to actually protect farmed animals from cruelty. Imagine that! This time, we are in Colorado, and the subject is the botched slaughter of a lamb — how’s that for horrific? — and we will be discussing their efforts to hold the slaughterhouse accountable under a provision of Colorado law that allows citizens to do something when prosecutors fail to do their job. ABOUT OUR GUESTS Will Lowrey is the Legal Counsel for Animal Partisan, a legal advocacy organization focused on challenging unlawful conduct at farms, slaughterhouses, and laboratories. Will previously spent several years as Legal Counsel for Animal Outlook, a national nonprofit farmed animal protection organization, where he divided his time between civil litigation and undercover investigations. Will has engaged in numerous lawsuits, as well as criminal and administrative enforcement actions against the government, industrial agriculture, and research laboratories, including cases involving federal slaughter laws, public records, false advertising, public nuisance, animal cruelty, and others. Will has taught Animal Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, Vermont Law and Graduate School, and the University of St. Thomas School of Law. Chris Carraway is an attorney and an activist. Before joining the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project, he was a lead attorney in the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender. There, Chris defended cases ranging from low-level misdemeanors to first-degree murder, participated in over 60 jury trials, and litigated cases in the Colorado Court of Appeals and Colorado Supreme Court. Chris graduated from Georgetown University Law Center, where he was president of the student chapters for the National Lawyers Guild and the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund. Before that, Chris began his involvement in animal rights activism in his hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina—doing outreach, defendant and prisoner support, and organizing local campaigns against the selling of foie gras and fur. Witnessing the criminalization of animal rights activism in the 00’s compelled him to go to law school.

Laura Fox of the Farmed Animal Advocacy Clinic at Vermont Law and Graduate School and Stijn van Osch of the Humane Society of the United States join us to talk about cows, chickens, pigs, securities law, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Amazon rainforest and some very, very high stakes for animals and for the planet. We’ll be chatting with them about a complaint that was recently filed with the SEC about the efforts of agribusiness mega-giant JBS to go public in the US and how it is attempting to comply with the very inconvenient requirements of the SEC that it has to tell the truth to investors. There is a lot to unpack here, and even for those of us with little expertise in securities law, this conversation is not only understandable but incredibly compelling.

Animal Law Podcast 109: The Case That Didn’t Happen 53:23

منذ 36 weeks53:23

53:23

Christopher Carraway and Steffen Seitz of the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project join us on this episode to talk about the case that didn’t happen. You may have heard about a criminal trial that was supposed to take place back in March in Wisconsin, where three activists affiliated with Direct Action Everywhere, Wayne Hsiung, Paul Picklesimer, and Eva Hamer, were charged with felonies resulting from the rescue of several beagles from Ridglan Farms, a notorious facility that breeds dogs for use in research. Suddenly, right before trial, the charges were dropped, and none of us ever heard the full story. So, now, Chris and Steffen are here to tell us not only about what really happened, but how they and their clients are working to turn the tables and, using a particularly interesting Wisconsin statute, bring criminal charges against Ridglan itself for animal abuse. ABOUT OUR GUESTS Chris Carraway is an attorney with the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project. Before joining the AALDP, he was a lead attorney in the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender. There, Chris defended cases ranging from low-level misdemeanors to first-degree murder, participated in over 60 jury trials, and litigated cases in the Colorado Court of Appeals and Colorado Supreme Court.

Jake Kamins joins us to talk about his groundbreaking work as an Animal Cruelty Resource Prosecutor in the Oregon Department of Justice. This position, which was created very recently, not only allows him to prosecute animal cruelty cases but, perhaps even more importantly, also allows him to act as a kind of roving resource, as his title indicates, to District Attorneys’ offices around the state when they have an animal cruelty case that presents some of the many unusual problems that can arise in prosecuting animal cruelty that don’t generally arise in most of the other cases handled by these offices. This interview presents a lot of insights into those problems as well as what animal cruelty laws cover, what they don’t cover, and how important it is to have people who not only care but who are specially trained to deal with these issues. ABOUT OUR GUEST Jake Kamins is a Senior Assistant Attorney General and Animal Cruelty Resource Prosecutor at the Oregon Department of Justice. Jake has prosecuted hundreds of cases of animal cruelty and has trained law enforcement, animal services, and animal rescue agencies throughout Oregon and the United States. Jake also teaches the “Crimes Against Animals” class at Lewis & Clark Law School. In 2012, Jake was named one of the nation’s Top Ten Animal Defenders by the Animal Legal Defense Fund. In 2022, Jake received the National Animal Control Association’s Bill Lehman Memorial Award.

Animal Law Podcast #106: A Case Farms Case of Cruelty 40:18

منذ 49 weeks40:18

Sarah Gold of Legal Impact for Chickens joins us to discuss litigation against giant poultry factory Case Farms. As you may know, I am a big fan of efforts to get anti-cruelty laws to do what they were meant to do, that is, protecting animals from cruelty. What a concept! Those efforts can be extraordinarily difficult to mount, and so I was particularly pleased to see that Legal Impact for Chickens is attempting to use North Carolina’s anti-cruelty law to try to help the poor birds who end up in the hands of Case Farms’ huge hatcheries. North Carolina has an unusual law, unusual in good ways and not-so-good ways, and we will be unpacking that law, what its potential might be for North Carolina chickens, what has happened so far in this case, and what comes next. ABOUT OUR GUEST Sarah is a litigator with Legal Impact for Chickens. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. Prior to law school, Sarah worked as a shelter intern at Farm Sanctuary. During law school, she served as president of the Animal Law Society, and interned at Mercy for Animals. After graduating, Sarah worked as a litigation associate at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. She also serves as secretary on the board of Sunset Farms Sanctuary, a farmed animal sanctuary in Arkansas.

Animal Law Podcast #105: Breaking the Rules?: Taxpayer-Funded Animal Research Outside the US 40:38

منذ 1 year40:38

40:38

Vanessa Shakib joins me once again, and this time, we will be discussing litigation brought by her client, White Coat Waste Project, about a really extraordinary situation at the National Institutes of Health. As you probably know, the NIH funds massive, massive amounts of research on animals. What you may not know is that much of that research does not take place in the United States but in other countries around the world. And what I certainly did not know until this interview is that the requirements regarding animal care that are imposed on foreign research are actually LESS than those imposed on researchers in the US. Crazy, right? ABOUT OUR GUEST Vanessa Shakib co-founded and co-directs Advancing Law for Animals, a non-profit law firm, where she develops impact litigation to further the interests of animals exploited in research and industrial food production. Her work has been featured by CNN, Fox News, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, USA Today, the Guardian, Science Magazine, and more. Vanessa is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Law at Southwestern Law School, and was awarded 2022-2023 SBA Adjunct Professor of the Year. She also continues to consult on a variety of legal matters through her private practice, Shakib Law, PC.

Animal Law Podcast #104: The Biogas Nightmare 53:35

منذ 1 year53:35

53:35

Christine Ball-Blakely of the Animal Legal Defense Fund joins us to discuss the work of a coalition of organizations that has filed petitions for rulemaking regarding the unbelievable subsidization, with your tax money, of “biogas,” aka factory farm gas, which, as far as I am concerned, appears to be an out and out scam to prop up factory farming, hide its worst environmental harms and convince people that it is part of a sustainable future, when it is, in fact, one of the worst causes of climate change. It’s all outrageous but also flying way too far under the radar, as so many stories about the harms of factory farming tend to do, as they are science-y, deliberately hidden away and obfuscated, and, perhaps most important, definitely not what people want to hear. Fortunately, WE want to hear it, and Christine makes it all very comprehensible. ABOUT OUR GUEST As a senior staff attorney at the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Christine works to end the exploitation and systemic abuse of farmed animals. She employs environmental laws to hold the factory farming industry—and the government agencies responsible for regulating it—accountable. She believes that, together, we can build a just legal system that prioritizes the protection of animals, the environment, and marginalized communities over private profit.

Animal Law Podcast #103: The Case of the Ad on the Bus 52:10

منذ 1 year52:10

52:10

Matthew Strugar joins us, once again, to talk about the many surprising legal issues that arise vis-a-vis bus ads. Specifically, we’ll be discussing White Coat Waste Project v Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority , a relatively recent case that involves a rather odd bus ad policy that prohibits “advertising intended to influence members of the public regarding an issue on which there are varying opinions.” In addition, however, we will be talking about several other cases and about how the law has developed regarding advertising in publicly owned spaces, how such advertising intersects with the First Amendment, what animal advocates can expect when they seek to get ads up on buses and in other publicly owned spaces and when they should fight back if they are prevented from getting their message out. Matthew has been vegan since 1996 and a protest lawyer since 2004. He worked at the Center for Constitutional Rights and the PETA Foundation before starting his own firm in 2016.
