Megha and Georgia are joined by Edie Bowles who is the co-founder of Advocates for Animals. They discuss Edie’s love for animals and how this love motivated her to start the first law firm in the UK which was entirely dedicated to Animal Protection Law. They also discuss the issue of illegal dog farming and the recent advancements in Animal Welfare law and whether they provide adequate protection. They also talk about the controversial issue of how animals are regarded as property in the eyes of the law and how Edie and her firm are working to change this. Edie also tells us about the financial viability of going into Animal Protection Law and what students can do to get involved with Animal Law at an early stage.
