Classed as property, animals have no legal voice: they need lawyers to advocate for them. Lawyers for Animals is a volunteer-based organisation dedicated to improving the welfare of animals through education and the law.
Unfortunately Simone Linham, Senior Lawyer at Victoria Police, is no longer able to speak at our Animal Law Breakfast, but luckily Amitoj Singh and Anna Leith from Victoria Police have jumped in to take her place!
