It's time to re-evaluate our relationship with animals: Lesli Bisgould at TEDxUofT
Lesli Bisgould is Canada's first animal rights lawyer. For ten years, she acted for individuals and organizations in a variety of animal-related cases in the only practice of its kind in the country. She has fought for the rights of students who objected to dissection in science class, for critics of facilities where animals are held captive, and for changes in the law to ameliorate the legal status of animals. Lesli is an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto's faculty of law where she instructs a course on animals and the law. Lesli is the author of "Animals and the Law", the only Canadian law text on the subject, published by Irwin Law. Lesli was the 2012 international law lecturer for Australian animal protection institute, Voiceless - she undertook a 12-stop lecture tour of Australia, comparing the commercial hunts for seals in Canada and kangaroos in Australia. In recent years, Lesli's full-time work has been in the human rights and poverty law fields, and she is currently the Barrister at Legal Aid Ontario's Clinic Resource Office.
