Animals as legal beings: a new legal classification

Most people never think animals are considered merely property, like your phone or your car. In this episode, Professor Maneesha Deckha will be speaking to us about her book, Animals as Legal Beings: Contesting Antrhopocentric Legal Orders, where she talks about what it would look like to replace the property classification for animals to a new legal status she calls  “beingness”.
