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.
In May 2011, Lawyers for Animals is publishing a series of ads in the Melbourne and Sydney editions of the MX about the suffering of millions of factory farmed animals in Australia, in particular, pigs, chickens and dairy cows.

On Thursday 19 May 2011 Lawyers for Animals will hold its annual law week event. Please see the attached flyer for details of Into the Wild, a forum to consider the legal plight of Australia’s wildlife, focusing on three species of particular concern: kangaroos, dingoes and possums.
Welcome to Lawyers for Animals’ website. We hope it will be an informative and useful tool in raising awareness of animals’ place in law, and how you can help them. Please contact us if you have any suggestions for the website. You can also join Lawyers for Animals on Facebook or on Twitter and find out more about our work.
