The hot summer months bring up an array of potential issues involving animals and their protection. Join us for the first presentation of our Animal Law Summer School series, as we explore how to be an agent of change for animals. David Rosengard and Kathleen Wood will discuss what to do if you witness animal cruelty, with a focus on summertime activities and situations, such as coming across a dog inside a hot car, animals left outside in inclement weather, special attractions like petting zoos and roadside zoos, and natural disaster. A brief Q&A to follow.
This webinar has been pre-recorded. Watch it now!
