The Farmed Animal Protection Project (FAPP) offers students (JD, LLM, and MSL) a two-semester experiential learning opportunity focused on farmed animal protection. This past year’s student projects included: creating informational resources on farmed animal protection laws in the U.S. and other countries, starting new nonprofit organizations, developing scholarship, creating a symposium to address interspecies kindness, and interviewing workers in animal research laboratories and slaughterhouses to better understand the nuances of their time surrounded by animal death and cruelty. This academic year, the FAPP will also focus on aquatic farmed animals and food system reform, as well as intersectional harms arising from the confinement and overcrowding of animals in intensive animal food production operations.
