Animal Rights Forum
The Animal Rights Forum is a student group at Robson Hall that aims to examine, discuss, and promote animal rights and welfare issues in the field of law and within the legal community.
What is it?
Why join?
Animal rights and welfare issues touch on a wide range of legal areas and are especially important in Manitoba. As animal rights issues attract more public attention in the years to come, this group is a great first step to provide you with an understanding of animals and the law that may assist you in your legal practice in the future. We bring in speakers from a wide variety of fields including non-profit CEOs, veterinary experts, sociologists, philosophers, legal experts, lawyers and others. Animal law is the new frontier of legal research and justice. As fields such as genetic engineering and animal-to-human organ transplantation become real possibilities in the medical field, leaders of national and global communities will look to lawyers and advocates to help determine the path through this unknown terrain. Our group offers the opportunity to discuss these strange questions of the 21st century.
