Chris Wlach: The Limits of the Law and the Places Where He Finds Hope

"I give a presentation to law students on animal law every now and then, and I tell them I can teach you everything you need to know about federal animal protection law in 10 seconds. I say there isn't really much. There are very few laws, especially at the federal level, protecting farmed animals." - Chris Wlach

Chris is an attorney and he is an animal welfare and humane education advocate. He's a major force in New York City animal law and has advocated for many of the city's non-human animals, including the carriage horses in Manhattan. The carriage horse issue has been going on for decades, horses are hit by cars, they collapse in the street, it's a horribly abusive industry.

Chris also advocates for animals up to the federal level. He came on the show to talk about animals and our legal system, its many limitations, and the places where he finds hope.
