Please join the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund Chapter for a free vegan lunch and discussion on ag-gag laws in the U.S. Co-sponsored by the Environmental Law Society, the American Constitution Society, and CHLSA (Chicano/Hispanic Law Students Association)
Guest Speakers include:
William Rivas-Rivas from the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and Daphne Silverman from the National Lawyers Guild.
Ag-gag overview: Animal abuse, food safety violations, and illegal working conditions are rampant on factory farms. Undercover investigations have exposed egregious animal cruelty and shed light on common agricultural practices that cause significant animal suffering.
Undercover investigations have resulted in criminal animal cruelty convictions, national meat recalls, plant closures, and civil lawsuits—all of which make undercover investigations and reporting an absolute necessity for protecting animals and public health and safety. Journalistic exposés of the meat industry have led to landmark food safety laws such as the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act. These laws help protect the public from “mad cow” disease, E. coli, and salmonella.
