Three days after both sides argued in court, Judge Steven Kirkland has dismissed Landry's defamation lawsuit against the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Carney Anne Nasser, and Cheryl Conley! To sanction Landry's for bringing such a frivolous lawsuit, Judge Kirkland issued a fine of $450,000 plus attorneys fees, and cleared the path for a federal lawsuit to free the tigers. The Animal Legal Defense Fund along with Irvine & Conner PLLC is expected to file the federal case under the Endangered Species Act in the near future. In the meantime, today's victory is a win for activists everywhere, and the right for us to speak up and voice our concerns. Now more than ever, we unite to #freehoustontigers. Thank you for your support!
