Joan Ranquet | How To Help Animals with Joan Ranquet Welcomes Shannon Keith @JoanRanquet | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
Shannon Keith is an activist attorney, professor, multi-award-winning
filmmaker, and the founder and president of the non-profit organization,
Beagle Freedom Project (BFP). Shannon formed BFP in 2010, a non-profit
rescue and advocacy organization, in order to rescue animals from testing,
advocate for an end to testing and ultimately legislate for it.
As an attorney, Shannon has challenged the archaic law that animals are
considered property. She brings her activism to the courtroom, making sure
to change the language and culture of how we view and treat animals, by
using language encouraging companionship rather than ownership, and
thereby advancing the concept that animals are sentient beings deserving of
legal recognition beyond that of an inanimate object.
Her cases resulted in several lower court opinions awarding damages for the emotional distress of animals, thereby recognizing they were deserving of legal recognition. Shannon also served as the advisor to Judge Wapner on the television series “Animal Court,” advising him on how to decide his cases.
