I bought a sick pet, now what do I do? Do you remember the day you picked up your furry friend from the breeder? You chose them as much as they chose you. How could you have known they would end up suffering like this? If your pet had an underlying health issue at the time of purchase, you may be able to take legal action. Without a lawyer. Join us on the 13th of May to workshop hypothetical scenarios and get answers from legal professionals: What are my options? What are the costs? What are the steps? Get justice. Keep breeders accountable. Get your tickets today via our website to secure your spot at either our Melbourne or Sydney event: http://www.ali.org.au/events Disclaimer: We cannot provide legal advice at this event. We can only provide you with general information that does not take into account your personal circumstances or individual needs. You should seek legal advice from a registered legal practitioner in relation to your specific legal matters.

WE WON ! Remember Nala’s case ? Today our lawyers Greta and Amanda appeared in the Tribunal to hold Nala’s breeders accountable for their failure to provide urgent and necessary medical treatment to Nala and her for mother. And they won ! We set a legal precedent which holds puppy farmers financially responsible for their negligent breeding. Pictured here are our lawyers Greta and Amanda (back) with Nala’s human parents Ava and Ryan #defendingthevoiceless #banpuppyfarms
