In this episode will be learning about Desmond’s Army Animal Law Advocates, which is a group of volunteer citizens who work together to better the lives of animals. They are committed to impacting animal welfare legislation by being a voice for the voiceless in the courts and at the Capitol of Connecticut, the state in which the group is located. They also seek to raise public awareness regarding the statistical connection between animal abuse and domestic and social violence. My guests are Zilla Cannemela, the cofounder and president of Desmond’s Law. And Linda Pleva, the Vice President and Treasurer of the group.
