Animal Law Week

The University of Otago's first Animal Law Week is being held this week.

The events are being run by the Student Animal Legal Defence Fund (SALDF), and aim to increase all students' awareness about society's treatment of animals. A number of interactive seminars will be presented by SALDF members and New Zealand's top Animal Law professors, providing students and members of the public with an opportunity to learn more about topical issues affecting animals in New Zealand.
   Danielle Duffield, President of Otago SALDF, says “The presentations are not just for law students. Anyone who cares about animals would benefit from attending.” SALDF will also be running a stall in Union Hall from 10am-2pm Monday, giving away free magazines, stickers, and biodegradable pens.
