Experience

Mark believes that animals deserve to be considered legal persons, not property, and will work toward making that a reality during his legal career.

Mark Snyder Jr is a second year student in the Juris Doctor Common Law program at the University of Ottawa and has spent much of his adult life helping animals as a volunteer and advocate. After some reflection, he decided to become a Canadian permanent resident and make a career change by going to law school. Mark knows that his purpose is to practice animal law and make Canada a better place for farmed animals, wild animals, domesticated animals, and animals involved in experimentation.
