The Animal Law Institute is a national non-profit community legal centre that is dedicated to protecting animals and advocating for their interests through the Australian legal system

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
Our friends at @ActionforDolphins are preparing a world-first legal action against the Taiji hunts in Japan, but dolphins need your help to launch it. Please sign the petition in their Instagram bio! #dolphin #taiji #stopthebloodbath #dolphinhunting
We believe that all animals deserve to live their lives free from cruelty. This is why our team fights to have the voices of animals like Nala and her fur mum heard. You can continue to support our work with a donation here: https://www.givenow.com.au/ali
And we're going to Court! It's official! Today, Greta and Ana lodged Nala's case in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal ... now we wait for a hearing date ... #justicefornala
