Animal Welfare Professionals

This special, 45-minute edition of Maddie's Candid Conversation we are talkikng with Justin Marceau, author of Beyond Cages: Animal Law and Criminal Punishment.  The discussion centers 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, facilitates the conversation about how systemic racism plays a role, and shares ways we can more effectively support companion animals and their families.
