| 9/25/26 |  The Trump Administration Is Dismantling the Endangered Species Act | In this episode of The Animal Law Podcast, Mariann Sullivan speaks with Eric Glitzenstein, Director of Litigation at the Center for Biological Diversity, about what he calls the most extreme attack on the Endangered Species Act in its history.

| 5/23/25 |  Is Ventilation Shutdown Legal? Private Citizens Fighting Factory Farm Cruelty | In this episode of the Animal Law Podcast, Mariann Sullivan welcomes back Will Lowrey, legal counsel for Animal Partisan, alongside David Rosengard, managing attorney for the Animal Legal Defense Fund‘s Criminal Justice Program. They dive into an obscure but potentially game-changing legal tool: laws in certain states that allow private citizens to obtain search warrants when they have evidence of animal… | 51m 04s | ||||||
| 4/30/25 |  Can an S.P.C.A. Prevent Cruelty to Cows? with Alene Anello | Alene Anello of Legal Impact for Chickens joins us once again, this time to talk, not about chickens, but about cows. Of course, the laws affecting farmed animals are often the same regardless of species and Legal Impact for Chickens thinks it would be great to see some of California’s rather good laws protecting farmed animals actually enforced. For that reason,… | 43m 41s | ||||||
| 3/26/25 |  The Case of the Cows, the Gas, and the Money with Kelsey Eberly and Skye Walker | FarmSTAND attorneys Kelsey Eberly and Skye Walker join us on this episode to discuss an absolutely infuriating case, Blumm v Northwest Natural Gas Company. They explain how an increasing number of dairy farms are more in the business of selling the methane being produced by their manure piles, or, as they call them, “lagoons,” than selling milk. Now, in Oregon, natural… | 50m 55s | ||||||
| 2/26/25 |  The Case of the Frankenchicken with Edie Bowles | Edie Bowles, the Managing Director of UK law firm Advocates for Animals, joins us on this episode to help us understand what appears to be a groundbreaking decision in animal welfare law that involves one of the most widespread and egregious practices in industrial animal agriculture, the breeding of factory-farmed chickens raised for meat in ways that cause unbelievable suffering. At… | 38m 05s | ||||||

You may have heard about the plight of the Tule elk at Point Reyes National… | 1h 10m 56s | ||||||
| 12/25/24 |  The Case of the Cultivated Chicken with Paul Sherman | Paul Sherman, senior attorney with the public interest law firm The Institute for Justice, joins us this week to discuss the legal battle over cultivated meat in Florida. Paul is leading the landmark lawsuit brought by UPSIDE Foods, challenging Florida’s controversial statute that criminalizes (criminalizes!) the production and sale of USDA-approved cultivated meat products in the state. This pivotal case examines… | 1h 05m 17s | ||||||

Whether it comes to the failure to require factory farms to… | 1h 00m 53s | ||||||

County of Winona, which involves an already huge Minnesota dairy… | 54m 48s | ||||||
