The empirical research for this book was made possible by grants provided by the Brooks Institute for Animal Rights Law and Policy.
Several of our excellent students at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law provided superb research assistance in support of this book: Richard Barahona, Caroline Brown, Chase Helseth, Molly Kokesh, Laura Martinez, and Jennifer Regier. We also received extraordinarily helpful institutional support from our Dean, Bruce Smith; Animal Law Program Manager Jessica Beaulieu; and Madeline Cohen, Catherine Dunn, and Michelle Penn, professional librarians at the Sturm College of Law.
