Do you try to keep up with animal-related legislation but sometimes find yourself wondering what it all means? This week we get some answers regarding the hugely important EATS Act and the effort to eradicate state animal welfare laws from Chris Green, Executive Director of the Brooks McCormick Jr. Animal Law & Policy Program at Harvard Law.
Chris Green is the Executive Director of the Brooks McCormick Jr. Animal Law & Policy Program at Harvard Law School, former Chair of the American Bar Association’s TIPS Animal Law Committee, and, previously, the Director of Legislative Affairs for the Animal Legal Defense Fund. A graduate of Harvard Law School and the University of Illinois, Chris regularly testifies at legislative hearings on animal protection matters and has been quoted on animal legal issues in dozens of major media outlets. In 2022, Chris received the American Bar Association’s Award for Excellence in the Advancement of Animal Law.
