Did you know that nearly 10 billion farmed animals are killed for food in this country each year and that these  animals have the least protections under our system of laws? Did you know that animals in general are viewed as property under the law and most often are considered to have the same value as a table, a car, or any other piece of tangible property? Does our legal system mask the suffering of animals and, if so, what can we do about it? What does animal farming have to do with climate change? Animal Outlook attorney, Will Lowrey, will answer these questions and bring us up to date on what is happening in our country’s legal system in regard to our fellow members of the interconnected web!
