deep convictions, open mind
“Barbara Gislason invited me to speak at the first meeting ever held at the American Bar Association on animal law. Her pioneering efforts made this ground breaking meeting possible. I was impressed with her deep convictions, open mind, and willingness to work on improving animal welfare in the practical real world. She is not blinded by ideology that can sometimes have unintended bad consequences that hurt animal welfare.”
