One of the things that is set to be banned is the boiling alive of lobsters and crabs. This an issue that Edie Bowles and her team have been campaigning on, taking the legal fight to the UK government and compelling them to change the welfare laws around crustaceans. Edie Bowles is an accomplished animal law solicitor and co-founder of both Advocates for Animals (AFA) - the UK’s first animal protection law firm - and The Animal Law Foundation (ALF), a charity that researches and advocates for better enforcement and interpretation of animal protection laws. Edie began her career in intellectual property law and heard little about animal law as a career option during university. Once she discovered it was possible to turn her passion for animals into a profession, she made the switch, spending several years as a solicitor with Cruelty Free International before founding AFA and ALF.

In this episode, I sit down with #animal law solicitor Edie Bowles who explains how the law is being used to protect animals, the battles being fought behind the scenes, and what it could mean for the future of farming.
