Making a Difference for Animals,
One Case at a Time
LANA Law Group is a group of dedicated attorneys who will use their unique skills to fight for animals in the court and legal systems. We also help people who need legal assistance regarding animal issues.
LANA submits TWO amicus curiae briefs in the first week of our launch!
The first is in a case pending in New York State’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, wherein a criminal defendant is challenging the constitutionality of a portion of the state’s animal cruelty statute, specifically, regarding the failure to provide veterinary care. LANA knows the importance of prosecuting animal cruelty cases, and the importance of strengthening our animal cruelty statute, not weakening it! LANA asks the Court, along with the prosecutor, to deem the law constitutional.
The second is in a rare lower court case, also in New York, wherein a plaintiff is asking the court to allow for emotional damages for the loss of a companion animal, when that animal was killed right in front of the owner’s eyes, due to someone’s negligence. Current NY law only allows recovery of such damages for loss of a member of the plaintiff’s immediate human family. LANA knows that animals are also a part of our immediate family, and asks the Court to deem it so.
Please donate to help LANA continue to fight for animals in our Court system.
We need stronger laws for animal protection, and we need animals to be deemed more than mere property in the eyes of the law.
One of the only ways to achieve these things is to LITIGATE.
