Rachel Hirschfeld (1945/1946 – September 28, 2018) was an animal welfare attorney specializing in the area of animal law, pet trusts, and pet protection agreements. She co-produced and was head producer of productions of many plays on and off-Broadway such as Oleanna[1] and Blithe Spirit.[2]
Legal career
Hirschfeld was an advocate in the area of pet trusts.[3] When a New York court awarded $2 million to Leona Helmsley's dog, Hirschfeld was quoted in The New Yorker calling it "one of the greatest moments for animals ongoing care".[4] She noted that "It's a landmark case, for a judge to be able to say that we have a case for that amount of money."[4]
Hirschfeld has been either quoted or profiled by news and media outlets in stories about pet trusts and pet rights including ABC's Nightline,[5] The New Yorker,[4] The New York Sun,[6] Newsday,[7] The Today Show,[8] CNN, the CBS Early Show, and The Wall Street Journal.[9]
Hirschfeld died on September 28, 2018, at age 72.[10][11]
