In October 2008, SALDF and CalSoc co-sponsored Preventing Farm Animal Cruelty. CLS alum, Milbank Partner, and CLS and NYU Animal Law Professor David Wolfson led a discussion of California's Proposition 2, which was on the California ballot in November 2008. This ground-breaking citizen initiative prohibits the confinement of veal calves, egg-laying hens, and pregnant pigs in a manner that prevents them from lying down, standing up, fully extending their limbs, or turning around freely. Proposition 2 passed with 63% of the popular vote! This year, Professor Wolfson has agreed to discuss the Prop 2 Campaign, the opposition's contentions and tactics, why he believes the legislation that he drafted was successful, the litigation in response to its passage, the influence that Prop. 2 will have on similar legislation in other states, and much more! Please join SALDF and CalSoc for an interactive conversation and dinner, with vegan food catered from Cafe Blossom. We plan to have the catering set up in JG 101 at 6:45 and for Professor Wolfson to begin speaking at 7:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you! Questions? Please contact SALDF President Kelly Cataldo at klc2134@columbia.edu.
