From 2011 to 2013, Madeline cared for over 500 monkeys at UW-Madison’s Harlow Primate Research Laboratory, an experience that left her with PTSD and ignited her passion for change. As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Justify, Madeline leads a nonprofit dedicated to advancing science without human or animal suffering. Justify provides a supportive space for current and former lab workers to share their stories and aims to shine a light on the realities of animal research. Madeline’s mission is to build the community she desperately needed when she left the primate lab in 2013, and to push for a future where science and ethics go hand in hand.

What if I told you that some smart people came up with a viable strategy to end factory farming for good. A way to channel all our activism in the most impactful way. A roadmap telling you where this animal rights struggle ends.

This master plan comes in the form of a legal article titled: A New Age of Animal Law, written by three animal rights lawyers: Jareb Gleckel, staff attorney for Animal Outlook, Grace Brosofsky, a public defender, and Cheryl Leahy, Director of Animal Outlook.

I welcomed on the show one of the co-authors, Jareb. And we discussed the good and bad of animal welfare, before getting to the core of his paper. Then, I challenged him on some of the points and assumptions he makes.
