Join the Animal Law Program for a lunchtime advocacy talk with Matthew Dominguez!

It was built and protected through legislation, regulation, and corporate power, creating a system that externalizes harm while concentrating profit and control.
In this talk, Matthew, U.S. Executive Director of Compassion in World Farming, explores how advocates fight for farmed animals by using every legitimate lever available: litigation, legislation, corporate policy, and campaigns that force change in our society. The talk will highlight three strategic fronts: The EATS Act, a major legislative push that illustrates how factory farming interests use federal law to roll back or preempt state-level protections; Food Not Feed, a campaign exposing the inefficiency and economics behind U.S. factory farming; and Compassion’s work to reform the food system, showing how targeted legal and corporate strategies can drive change that benefits animals, humans, and the planet.
Ultimately, the talk argues that factory farming is not just a moral issue – it is a system of power with weak points that we must attack. And law students have a unique role in the future of this fight.
