Anthony Walsgott

Anthony is a Senior Solicitor specialising in the preparation of court/trial briefs, court representation/advocacy, preparing legal opinions, and conducting Alternative Dispute Resolution. Anthony is currently a Senior Solicitor for the law firm Box Forest Consultancy (since July 2022) working on legal cases that defend the legal rights of organic farmers against chemical farmers who are illegally polluting organic crops both directly and through unmitigated chemical spray drift. 

Anthony has a long history working in environmental and ecological law, previously working as an in-house solicitor for Walsgott Animal Law Service Inc and Sunshine Coast Environment Council, preparing briefs and legal opinions and running/representing in court trials in the Planning and Environment Court in Maroochydore and Brisbane.

He grew up on a 1000 acre farm near Dooen, Wimmera, Victoria, which was primarily a wheat farm that also had mixed farming, including cows and sheep. His father was convinced by chemical companies to use chemicals on the wheat crops and would later die from exposure to chemicals.

Anthony maintains a strict vegan diet eating raw organic vegan as much as he can (so much fruit, sprouted legumes and salad vegetables and other foods that can be eaten raw), but cooked vegan food is still a significant part of his diet, with foods such as bread, pasta, rice etc.

Since 2020, Anthony has co-owned a property on the Mary River north of Gympie which became the new home sanctuary for The Save A Cow Foundation. He runs this cow sanctuary farm as a vegan organic farm.
