Justin Marceau, author of Beyond Cages: Animal Law and Criminal Punishment and Gabrielle Chapman, social justice analyst, will be speaking with each other in special 45-minute edition of Maddie’s^® Candid Conversations on Thursday, June 3 at 12 PM PT/3 PM ET.

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.

Chapman 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.

Register now for the conversation and afterwards, be sure to join Marceau and Chapman on Maddie’s^® Pet Forum.
