Special Edition Maddie’s Candid Conversation with Gabrielle Chapman and Justin Marceau

When:  Jun 3, 2021 from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM (PT)
Associated with  Animal Welfare Professionals

Join us for a special, 45-minute edition of Maddie's Candid Conversation where we will be talking with Justin Marceau, author of Beyond Cages: Animal Law and Criminal Punishment.  The discussion will center around the role of fines and fees, civil penalties, conviction and punishment in achieving positive outcomes for animals - and how current enforcement models can in fact produce negative consequences for companion animals which can hinder the goal of lifesaving. Gabrielle Chapman, a social justice analyst, will facilitate the conversation, moderate your questions about how systemic racism plays a role, and share ways we can more effectively support companion animals and their families.

The event will be recorded.  After the live event ends, join Gabrielle and Justin right here on Maddie's Pet Forum to continue the conversation!
