Laerte Fernando Levai
Dr.
Laerte Levai is a member of the Public Prosecution Service of the State
of Sao Paulo since 1990 - he is a district attorney in the city of Sao
Jose dos Campos. He tried the first public civil suit in Brazil in 1992
against cruel slaughter of animals, becoming vegetarian.
From then on he filled public civil suits against rodeos, circuses, slaughterhouses and universities performing animal experiments. He signed a conduct agreement with the City in favor of animals used in traction services and started an investigation to determine abuse against farm animals, in the agribusiness sector.
Each year he presents, in environmental congresses of the Public Prosecution Service, institutional theses to defend animals, recognizing them as individuals with rights.
He is the author
of the book “Direito dos Animais” (Animal Rights), which was recently
revised and updated.
