Aryan is studying law at the University of Bristol, and is part of the University Law Clinic. He believes that Animal rights should be given the same stature as Human Rights and the first step to achieve it would be to make universities teach students Animal Law. Alongside this he loves wildlife photography and his dream is to see the black panther in it’s total wild nature. 

I am currently a PhD student at Durham University and my work focuses on how international law treats “harmful” cultural practices. One of the main practices that I look at is whaling and concerns for the welfare of whales is an key issue in my research. This is a passion project for me and one day I hope to become a barrister. I have been a vegan for around 6 years and being involved in protecting animals is a great passion of mine. I studied Animal Law at LJMU during my undergraduate degree course and I hope to spread more awareness through my role as an ambassador.

My name is Molly, and I am a final year law student at the University of Aberdeen. When not studying, I enjoy cooking, going for long walks, and watching true crime documentaries. I am passionate about animals, and throughout my time at University have been involved with several animal welfare related projects.

Naomi is a PhD student at Durham University. She first became interested in law when studying a jurisprudence module during her year abroad in Paris and, following a Master’s degree at Oxford, began her legal studies. Her current research turns to continental literature and philosophy in approaching the legal question of personhood for animals, fostering a posthumanist openness that welcomes the animal as a guest rather than an enemy, as a subject instead of an object. In lieu of blurring the distinction between human/animal, she is considering the possibility that the animal could teach us how we ourselves might escape the hostility of intellectual captivity and bias in the hopes of envisaging a post-anthropocentric conception of ‘animalhood’. She is excited to organise A-Law events involving other faculties in the humanities and sciences to encourage a multiplicity of viewpoints on legal issues. In her free time, you can probably find her in a park surrounded by squirrels or rehabilitating injured pigeons!

I am Parnika, a first year law student at University of Bristol. As a student ambassador, I’m hoping to develop a platform that allows us to advocate the current issues relating to the rights and welfare of animals, network with individuals of the same beliefs, and hopefully influence many to delve into the broad field of animal law. 

Nadia is a second year LLB Law student at the University of Edinburgh. She has a wide range of interests, including animal welfare, technology, poetry, art, and volunteering.

I am Mary, a final year accelerated LLB student at the University of Edinburgh. I have a huge passion for animal rights and Veganism and I thoroughly enjoy pursuing this through my role as Student Ambassador for A-law. My ultimate goal is to contribute throughout my life to the improvement of animal welfare standards as well as the education of animal law. I also have two rescue Pomeranians who are my best friends in the world!

My name is Emily, I’m currently a student at the University of Law studying the GDL, hoping to pursue a career in animal and environmental law. I studied my undergraduate in English at Lincoln University where I also volunteered at several animal sanctuaries during my spare time and wrote a blog on conservational and environmental issues. I’ve been lucky enough to travel and incorporate sanctuary and conservation visits to meet a variety of animals which opened my eyes to the issues animals are facing in the UK and worldwide. My rescue cat Wilf was abandoned by his previous owners and has gone from feral to the most loving pet and has shown how much animals need our help. I’m excited to become a A-Law ambassador and make a difference.

Hi I am Aimee, I am a third-year law student and a committee member of the Law Society. I am a huge animal lover and am so happy to be involved in a company which improves the lives of animals and helps bring awareness to the big issues.

My name is Kabir, and I am a first-year Law student at the University of Leeds. I have always been passionate about animal welfare and have been volunteering at various animal charities in my hometown such as Team Meraki for several years. I believe that animals should also be provided with the same set of rights as Human Rights, as George Orwell’s Animal Farm’s final chapter – “All living things are equal.” I look forward to working with the professionals at A-LAW and spreading awareness about the charity. Alongside this, I love to take wildlife and nature photography, and I dream to help animals around the world to a better and safer environment.

I’m Lauren, a final year law student at the University of Reading! I’ve grown up around animals and with an interest in environmental law. My first job was at a cattery (where cats went when their owners were on holiday) and stayed there until I moved away for university. I’ve always been interested in animal rights and welfare and was shocked to discover that animal law is not widely taught! I want to raise awareness of the topic. When not studying, I am fundraising through my university raising and giving society, playing The Sims or listening to Taylor Swift!

Divya will be completing her law degree in 2022. She has been contributing to law through her writings and voluntary roles since she stepped foot in law.

My name is Nisha, and I am a law student at the University of York. I am interested in many areas of law such as criminal and family, but what I particularly want to learn more about is animal law. I have a great interest in animal welfare. I have always loved animals, but my first pet guinea pig made me have a strong passion for animal welfare. I started understanding animals and caring for them even more. I have volunteered in an animal shelter back in Singapore and helped to take care of big dogs. I also play my part by donating to and sponsoring different animal sanctuaries. I believe that animals are not that different from us humans. Their rights matter as much as ours do. I aim to advocate for animals all around the world and help in any way that I can to improve animal welfare.
