What is animal law?

Animal Law includes any type of legal action, whether it be transactional or litigation, that effects the rights, standing and/or welfare of an animal. In short, it is pro-animal and pro-animal activists. Christine Garcia, lead council for the San Francisco based Animal Law Office, discusses her current cases including the defense of a man arrested for passing out educational leaflets in front of Marine World, as well as several animal rights advocates who were arrested for passing out educational literature in front of the Animal Open House at the Ringling Brothers Circus.
