After a cow slaughterhouse operating in Los Angeles was ordered to pay Advancing Law for Animals attorneysâ fees in connection with First Amendment litigation, Advancing Law for Animals requested to be given its portion in cows in lieu of cash. While the slaughterhouse initially agreed to pay Advancing Law for Animals' portion of the judgment in cows, it later rescinded. As a result, Advancing Law for Animals successfully defaulted the slaughterhouseâfreezing its accounts pending its rights as a judgment debtor to dispute the levy. With this leverage, Advancing Law for Animals secured the release of four dairy cows, who were otherwise hours away from death. Thanks to our incredible partnership with Farm Sanctuary, these four cowsâlovingly named Amelia, Frida, Juno, and Jadeânow live safely and happily.
