Location
UMN Law School, Room 30
Come watch an exciting presentation at the UMN law school. The presenters will be Carter Dillard, Director of Litigation with the Animal Legal Defense Fund and Stephanie Feldstein, Population and Sustainability Director with the Center for Biological Diversity. Stephanie Feldstein also is a part of the project, Take Extinction Off Your Plate which encourages the public to move towards a vegan diet. Both presenters will be raising questions such as: Why are we, and the animals we eat, replacing other species on earth? Is the animal rights movement really progressing given the ongoing mass extinction of other species? Has the environmental movement failed given the prospects for extinction, anthropogenic climate change, and other environmental crises? How do human rights play into these issues, if at all? Can we rethink our most basic moral and legal norms to prevent the degradation of our world? Why aren’t more people talking about population growth and animal agriculture, and can we really do anything about it?
