Advocacy, not apathyJase says,
Lifted from lawyersforanimals.org.au..
Classed as property, animals have no legal voice; they need lawyers to advocate for them. Lawyers for Animals Inc. seeks to strengthen Australia's protection of animals through education and law.
Lawyers for Animals Inc is a volunteer-based organisation that seeks to improve the welfare of animals through education and law. They work with politicians and make submissions on Acts, Regulations,Codes of Practice and other laws and policies affecting animals.
My partner David is the president of the organisation and I want to support him and the group by letting you know about a fundraising event 'Lawyers for Animals' are holding in February. You may have heard the Community Service Announcment played on JOY over the last week or so for the event.
LFA are holding their first ever trivia night on Wednesday the 18th of February,6.00pm for 6.30pm start at 'The Apartment' 401-405 Little Bourke Street
Melbourne
Tables are of 5 to 10 people at a cost of $15 per person
All proceeds go to Lawyers for Animals. If you are interested in joining my table, or even getting your own table together on the night let me know. email me at jasong@joy.org.au
Any left over tickets will be available at the door on the night, but don't risk it.
Come along for a fun night of trivia, games and prizes!
