Analyzing the Controversial Hunter Protection Laws in Wisconsin

Joining Amanda Howell, Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney, Mark Leitner, ALDF outside counsel, and John Watson, Adjunct Professor of Environmental Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago, for a discussion on „hunter protection“ laws and the groundbreaking Wisconsin case, Brown v. Kemp, promises to shed light on an important issue that affects both wildlife and the rights of concerned citizens.

The panelists bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Amanda Howell, as the Managing Attorney of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, has dedicated her career to advocating for the rights of animals and challenging laws that harm wildlife. Mark Leitner, as ALDF outside counsel with Laffey, Leitner & Goode LLC, has been at the forefront of legal battles to protect animals and their habitats. John Watson, an Adjunct Professor of Environmental Policy, brings academic expertise and a deep understanding of the intersection between environmental policy and wildlife conservation.

The focus of the discussion will be on „hunter protection“ laws, which are often framed as measures to safeguard the rights of hunters but can have detrimental effects on wildlife populations. The Wisconsin case, Brown v. Kemp, serves as a prime example of how these laws can infringe upon the First Amendment rights of citizens who advocate for the protection of wolves and other wild animals. By delving into the details of this case, the panelists aim to highlight the broader implications of such laws and the importance of upholding the rights of individuals who seek to protect wildlife.
