Episode 2: Animals Are Not Things
Animal Amicus podcast
What is sentience? What legal status do nonhuman animals have? What circumstances allow a law enforcement officer to take action without a warrant to save an animal? Nicole Pallotta and David Rosengard tackle these and other questions as they discuss the “Oregon trilogy” (State v. Nix, State v. Fessenden, and State v. Newcomb) and animal rights victories across the United States and globally.
