Unlocking the Cage: Film Screening with Steven Wise
Wednesday 11/16, 6pm
WCC 1023
Unlocking the Cage follows animal rights lawyer Steven Wise in his career-long challenge to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans. After 30 years of struggling with existing animal welfare laws, Steve and his legal team, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP), recently filed the first ever lawsuits seeking to transform an animal from a “thing” with no rights to a “person” with legal protections.
Steven Wise will join HLS Professor Kristen Stilt for a discussion after the film.
Indian food dinner will be served.
