Animal Rights Enters the Courtroom!
UnchainedTV Video Podcast • 56m
The Animal Activist Legal Defense Project, led by renowned attorney Carter Dillard, is now representing animal activists all over the United States. Recently, there was a fascinating legal summit unpacking the historic acquittal of two Direct Action Everywhere animal activists who faced over a decade in prison for rescuing two sick piglets from a Utah factory farm. The summit tried to figure out what exactly what made the jurors, in a conservative Utah county, find the defendants, Wayne Hsiung and Paul Picklesimer, NOT GUILTY on all counts. And, the summit also discussed the legal underpinnings of the Right to Rescue movement, which says: when you see an animal suffering you have the right to rescue that animal, even if it means going onto private property and removing the animal. Now, attorney Carter Dillard talks to UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell about all of this! Are we hitting the animal rights LEGAL tipping point?
