The NhRP has filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit on behalf of approximately 2,000 beagles and puppies subjected to routine cruelty and mistreatment at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin, seeking recognition of their right to be free from cruelty.

Was a pleasure chatting with @marisul.bsky.social on @ourhenhouse.org Animal Law Podcast. Highlight for me was learning that someone has taken up intrinsic valuation as their pet animal law cause because I’ve never read a good explanation why this doesn’t fill the companion animal valuation gap.

Thank you Kristen Stilt @harvardanimallaw.bsky.social‬, ‪@animal-justice.bsky.social,‬ @climatedefense.bsky.social‬, animal law scholars, ‪@nonhumanrights.bsky.social,‬ @ccrjustice.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social, @nlgnews.bsky.social docs.google.com/document/d/1...

On its surface, this case involving chickens, ducks, & criminal trespass may seem far from the @nonhumanrights.bsky.social’s ordinary work. But when a court categorically excludes animals from a legal doctrine that protects against significant evil, it sets a dangerous precedent for all animals. 1/

SCOTUS says equity ‘moulds each decree to necessities of the case’ then limits equitable relief to whatever a pre-1789 case happened to use? Should’ve been abuse of discretion review w/ weights on the scale for ahistorical nature. Not a hard crop. #UniversalInjunctions #legalnews

NY court recognizes dog as "immediate family member" in case where @nonhumanrights.bsky.social filed amicus briefs. First time in NY that witnessing a pet's death can support emotional distress damages. ⚖️🐾 #animallaw #legalnews #legal #animalrights #dogs 🧵/ www.nonhumanrights.org/blog/dog-fam...

NhRP Executive Director @chrandberry.bsky.social was interviewed for @reason.com on the topic of #AnimalPersonhood: “courts are trying to police a boundary between humans and animals and not recognizing that things don't always fall into a neat dichotomy."

Can’t believe we missed the April Fools press release that penguins have a right to be free from tariffs by one day.

Well said.

A Wisconsin judge has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate & potentially prosecute criminal #animalcruelty at Ridglan Farms, one of the last 2 remaining large US breeders of dogs for animal experimentation. One more nail in the coffin of dog experimentation! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Prosecutors often treat commercial animal operations as above the law, even in the face of egregiously unlawful cruelty. It's a huge victory to have convinced a court that this dog experiment breeder should be investigated by a special prosecutor!

CO’s highest court heard arguments made by NhRP for right the liberty of 5 elephants held captive in the Cheyenne Mt Zoo.The key issue before the 6 justices is whether CO common law protects an individual’s rt to liberty even if they aren’t human nonhumanrightsproject.donorsupport.co/page/endofye...

Does everyone in your community agree on some folk knowledge that isn’t published anywhere? Put it in a paper! It’s a pretty valuable contribution

Exercising your voice matters—whether it’s voting or participating in professional organizations like the AVMA. Policies won’t change unless we speak up. 💬 Veterinarians have a platform to create meaningful change—so let’s use it. #AVMA #VeterinaryAdvocacy #onehealth #foodtruth #nomv #vetmed

An entire dozen of us to start! Let me know who I'm missing. go.bsky.app/KjXfbh6

The federal gov't seems to think that SCOTUS holding re: organizational standing in FDA v. All. for Hippocratic Med. (2024) eviscerates Havens-style injury/standing for animal advocacy orgs. This theory has been a staple in animal law litigation b/c animals don't have standing. 1/🧵

Trees don’t have legal standing, but dead trees do under maritime law when they are turned into ships.

Here's a still-in-progress, woefully incomplete list of people interested in factory farming, animal rights, animal ethics, etc. from Twitter and elsewhere🦋🫶 Anyone I should add, LMK go.bsky.app/C73abV3
