Conceptualizing Our Relationships with Animals:
The Six Ways We Interact: Food, Clothing, Wildlife, Science, Pets, and Entertainment  - May 10, 2013

Presented by: Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, University of Washington Chapter

The University of Washington School of Law's 2013 Animal Law Conference is focused on examining the different ways we interact with and think about animals. As society progresses, the ethical treatment of animals comes more to the forefront of people's minds. The world of Animal Law is increasing because of this awareness.

Please join us for an exciting and thoughtful interdisciplinary event that is both practical and forward-thinking.
