Episode 9: Desmond’s Army

In this episode, we’re learning about Desmond’s Army Animal Law Advocates—a volunteer group dedicated to improving the lives of animals through legal advocacy. Their mission is to be a voice for the voiceless in Connecticut’s courts and Capitol while raising public awareness about the link between animal abuse and domestic or social violence.

My guests are Zilla Cannemela, cofounder and president of Desmond’s Army, and Linda Pleva, the group’s vice president and treasurer.
