About Jamie McLaughlin:
Jamie believes pets matter to themselves. They have unique individual lives. Pets and other animals have wants and needs, likes and dislikes, friends and enemies. The more I learn, the more my view of animals evolves.
She is an animal welfare and environmental attorney. She holds a J.D. with a Certificate in Public Interest Law from DePaul University College of Law in Chicago, Illinois, and an LL.M. in animal law from Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon.
Jamie received her B.A. in anthropology and English from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.
She has a background in finance and holds a Certified Financial Planner designation. Jamie is a former financial planning franchise owner and served as a personal financial advisor to Silicon Valley professionals for over 17 years where she provided portfolio oversight, wealth management, insurance analysis and financial goal planning.
In 2018, Jamie transitioned from her financial planning practice to pursue animal and environmental law.
Jamie’s animal law concentrations are animal status, and the impacts of industrial animal agriculture models on the environment, humans and nonhuman animals.
She serves as Vice President of the Animal Law Commission Working Group for the Union Internationale des Avocats (International Association of Lawyers) and is pursuing an LL.M in environmental law at Lewis & Clark.

About Dylan Clark:
Dylan believes pets matter because humanity has been dependent upon other species for our development and flourishing throughout time. Our K-9 friends have been our guardians and hunting companions for tens of thousands of years; cats and oxen made early agriculture easier and more productive; horses revolutionized transportation; and pigeons revolutionized communication. Animals matter because without our animal friends, civilization as we know it would not exist.
He is the acting Vice President of Operations for Logistical Legal Marketing, LLC. He provides marketing and logistical business advice for multiple law firms across several jurisdictions in the western United States.
Dylan was a Ronald E. McNair Scholar, and published a case study titled The Industrial and Environmental Pressures Affecting the Fante-Speaking Artisanal Fishers of Anomabo, Ghana.
He served as a USMC tank commander in the 4th Marine Armor Division in Spokane, Washington.
Dylan received his J.D. from Northwestern School of Law of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
His concentration is the intersection of human rights and the environment, and he is actively working with local Ghanaian groups to address international fisheries abuses that both impact the oceanic environment and diminish the well-being of millions of people who depend on fish stocks as their primary source of protein.
About Sergeant Reckless:
Sergeant Reckless was a decorated warhorse who served in the Korean War. The Mongolian mare was purchased in 1952 at a racetrack in Seoul, Korea. She was trained to be a pack horse for the 5th Marine Regiment's Anti-Tank Company.
During the war, Sergeant Reckless carried ammunition to the front lines and helped rescue wounded soldiers. She carried supplies and ammunition to dangerous outposts and carried wounded soldiers from the battlefield to safety.
She often traveled to deliver supplies to the troops on her own, without a handler.
Sergeant Reckless was promoted to the rank of Sergeant while still in Korea in 1954. She was promoted twice to Staff Sergeant at Camp Pendleton. Her last promotion was by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen Randolph McCall Pate.
Sergeant Reckless retired on November 10, 1960, and died on May 13, 1968.
You can learn more about Reckless’ career and legacy in the petition here. The petition has the goal of 500 signatures.
