Alene Anello is a Groundbreaking Lawyer for Chickens

Disclaimer: This conversation contains graphic depictions of cruelty toward chickens.

This week, Kathy is joined by Harvard Law graduate and founder of the non-profit Legal Impact for Chickens, Alene Anello. In their lively conversation, the two discuss:

• Alene’s relationship with her pet cockatiel, Conrad, who changed her view of animals forever
• How working at PETA and the Animal Legal Defense Fund made Alene want to work for animal rights “forever”
• LIC’s lawsuit against Costco, citing animal welfare law violations, following a gruesome Mercy for Animals undercover investigation
• The horrific ways that chickens suffer in production plants and why Costco’s treatment of chickens demands legal action
• Kathy compares Alene’s work to the Nonhuman Rights Project’s work to represent animals in a court of law
• Alene teases some exciting new projects for her team at LIC
