The event will be moderated by Professor James May and will feature three guest speakers who are experts in the field of animal law.  Since the speakers are from around the world, they will be presenting virtually.  The presentations will be displayed on the screen in Vale and there will be an opportunity to ask questions towards the end of the panel.
