SALDF lecture on animal welfare laws in Quebec
Attention animal lovers! Please join McGill's Student Animal
Legal Defense Fund (SALDF) for a presentation by Alanna
Devine on the challenges of applying Animal Welfare Laws
in Quebec.
Ms. Devine received her B.C.L./LL.B. from McGill in 2006 and has
recently been appointed acting executive director of the Montreal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).
Ms. Devine will address the problems associated with using, for
example, the Criminal Code, the Animal Health Protection Act and
several municipal by-laws in protecting animals from acts of
cruelty. She will also speak on how she obtained a career in animal
law and discuss alternatives to what people usually think of as
animal law jobs.
Alana Devine was also featured in the Faculty of Law last alumni
magazine. To download a copy, see www.mcgill.ca/law/alumni.
