With the Animal Justice Party recently elected, we are joined by Dr Siobhan O’Sullivan to consider opportunities for animal advocates in Parliament. We discuss the push to recognise animals as having legal personhood (rather than property status), ‘ag-gag’ laws which prevent whistle-blowers from exposing cruelty by prohibiting undercover filming, and the inconsistent definitions of terms like ‘free range’, ‘organic’ or ‘grain-fed’ in labelling practices.
