In this first full episode of the Talking Animal Law podcast, Paula Sparks (A-LAW Chairperson) talks about a career in animal law with Peter Stevenson, Chief Policy Advisor at Compassion in World Farming (CIWF).

Peter is a qualified lawyer who has worked for nearly three decades in animal welfare. During this time, he played a leading role in winning the EU bans on veal crates, battery cages and sow stalls as well as a new status for animals in EU law as sentient beings. In October 2020, Peter was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list, in recognition of his tremendous contributions in the field of animal welfare. Peter talks about his career, the highs and lows, successes and obstacles and what he sees as the challenges ahead.
