SUMMARY:Hot Topics | Animal Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for the Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “Animal Storytelling\,” will be presented by Stephanie Hanes\, environmental journalist and VLGS Animal Law Media Fellow. \n\n\n\nReporting and writing about non-human animals creates unique challenges for journalists. We can’t quote them. We can’t interview them. So how do we pick what stories to tell about them—and how do we adjust our work to ensure we are accurately and effectively communicating about our natural world? In this talk\, Hanes will discuss some of the pitfalls and potential of covering animals for mainstream media. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.

SUMMARY:Hot Topics | Someone
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for the Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session will be presented by Kristen Stilt from Harvard Law School and a VLGS Distinguished Animal Law Summer Scholar. \n\n\n\nAn assumed division between human and nonhuman animals (and most of nature) has long been baked into most of Western culture and law. As effects of the Anthropocene bring humans and animals in closer and more frequent contact\, increasingly in emergency and catastrophic situations\, we are beginning to see more signs of awareness that humans and animals are not only ecologically but profoundly interdependent—and that each animal should not be categorized something\, but as someone. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.

SUMMARY:Hot Topics | A Dog is a Chimp is a Mouse is a Rabbit? How Charismatic Species Shape Lab Animal Welfare Laws and Policies
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for this summer’s Hot Topics in Environmental Law Summer Lecture Series\, brought to you by the Environmental Law Center at VLGS. The series is free and open to the public. In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “A Dog is a Chimp is a Mouse is a Rabbit? How Charismatic Species Shape Law Animal Welfare Laws and Policies\,” will be presented by Larry Carbone. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Carbone will explore the effect of using charismatic species (such as dogs\, primates\, and rabbits) to advance welfare reforms. Do new laws and practices crafted to accommodate interests of one species have a ripple effect that improves the lot of other animals? Or do special protections for one type of animal come at the expense of others? Carbone shows how both outcomes have occurred through the years\, and argues that activists should be mindful of arguments that elevate species we care about at the expense of those without a human constituency advocating for their interests. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.

In addition to featuring live Q&A with the audience\, each installment is eligible for Vermont Bar Association Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. \n\n\n\nThis session\, “Toxic Sewage Sludge: How the Biosolid Fertilizer Industry is Poisoning Farm Animals\,” will be presented by Marin Scotten\, VLGS Animal Law Media Fellow. \n\n\n\nUsing human biosolids\, also known as sewage sludge\, as farmland fertilizer has been hailed as a climate-friendly and efficient way to fertilize crops and dispose of waste. But a growing body of research now suggests sewage sludge application—which is largely unregulated and controlled by just a handful of companies—is contaminating food and water with PFAS\, poisoning farm animals and creating major public health risks. \n\n\n\nTune into the livestream by clicking the button below.
