A Healthy Co-Existence: Animal Law, Public Health and Safety

Presented by: Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, University of Washington Chapter

The University of Washington School of Law’s 2012 Animal Law Conference is focused on the crossroads of animal law and public health.

As public health becomes a burgeoning concern in our nation, it intersects more and more with the world of animal law.

Lawyers face the issues of hunting and fishing, the ethical and health implications of horse slaughter, the efficacy (or lack thereof) of breed specific legislation in reducing human injury and dog abuse, and the increasing mental and public health problem of animal hoarding. Lawyers involved in animal rights issues handle public health issues and ethical implications daily.

Please join us for an exciting and thoughtful interdisciplinary event both practical and forward-thinking.

Program Highlights:

• Ethics on animal hoarding
• Indian treaty-based fishing laws
• Illegal fishing and hunting criminal statutes
• Service animal legislation & food standards
• Breed-specific pet legislation
• Implications of horse slaughter
