SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/24/22 - Responding to Animal Crimes Through a Restorative Justice Approach - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:As a broad category of penological response that aims to repair the harms crime inflicts on victims\, hold offenders accountable\, and promote resilient communities\, restorative justice has venerable roots. Nonetheless\, the explicit application of restorative justice approaches within the USA’s criminal justice system is quite young – and all but unheard of as applied to crimes with animal victims: abuse\, neglect\, animal fighting\, and animal sexual exploitation. Join Animal Legal Defense Fund criminal justice attorneys for an exploration – rooted in emergent scholarship – of the role restorative justice could play in our legal system’s response to animal cruelty. \nThis session will begin by summarizing the history and current use of restorative justice in the context of the USA’s criminal justice system. Next\, we will examine the ways that a restorative justice framework focuses on animals as the inherent victims of animal cruelty—and therefore as the party who is most in need of an outcome that acknowledges their suffering and – to the extent possible – restores their well-being. Finally\, we will outline what a restorative justice framework might look like as applied to animal cruelty cases – and how it could be drawn on as an option impactful for victims\, offenders\, and communities\, building empathy\, reducing recidivism\, and increasing rehabilitation. \nPresenters\nJessica Chapman\nAs a Criminal Justice Program Fellow for the ALDF\, Jessica Chapman works with the department to address crimes against animals\, partnering with stakeholders across the criminal justice system to resolve both the impetus and impact of animal cruelty. \nJessica earned a B.A. from the University of California\, Berkeley where she double majored in Slavic Languages and Literature and Native American Studies (honors). She earned a J.D. (cum laude) from Michigan State University College of Law\, where Jessica received the 2020 Wanda Nash Award from the Animal Law Section of the Michigan State Bar. Jessica earned an Animal law L.L.M. (magna cum laude) from Lewis & Clark Law School. While at Lewis & Clark\, she was awarded the inaugural 2021 Outstanding Animal Law L.L.M. Graduate Award and earned placement in the Cornelius Honor Society. \nJessica shares her home with two dogs named Patch and Landa. The brothers enjoy hiking through mountains\, camping trips\, and discovering the world together. \nDavid Rosengard\nAs a senior staff attorney in the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s Criminal Justice Program\, David Rosengard works with stakeholders across the criminal justice system to pursue justice on behalf of animal cruelty victims. One of his focus areas is amicus briefs\, where he raises appellate-level arguments aimed at enabling courts to reach decisions that not only address the needs of the animals involved in individual cases\, but to also better position animals as a whole within the law. David additionally helms the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s groundbreaking work helping animals who have been harmed by criminal cruelty achieve the legal status of crime victims\, including efforts to expand Courtroom Animal Advocate Programs which allow pro bono attorneys and law students to act as counsel for those animal crime victims in court. \nDavid co-edited and contributed to the second edition of Animal Law in a Nutshell and has published law review articles aimed at assisting prisoners in securing vegan meals (“Three Hots and a Cot and a Lot of Talk”: Discussing Federal Rights-Based Avenues for Prisoner Access to Vegan Meals) as well as illuminating the critical impact legal recognition of animal sentience has on constitutional considerations (A Dog is Not a Stereo: The Role of Animal Sentience in Determining the Scope of Owner Privacy Interests Under Oregon Law). David also teaches animal law at his alma mater—Lewis & Clark Law School\, where he graduated twice with honors\, as both a J.D. and an Animal Law LL.M. student. While a student at Lewis & Clark Law School\, David clerked for the Center for Animal Law Studies\, Co-Directed L&C’s Student ALDF chapter\, worked in Kenya on wildlife and animal cruelty issues\, was an Animal Law Review Editor-in-Chief\, and represented the state of Oregon in criminal court on behalf of the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office as a certified law student. \nPrior to embarking on his legal career\, David earned a B.A. with honors in History and Gender Studies from Claremont McKenna College\, and worked in higher education\, where he focused on sexual assault prevention and response\, peer counseling\, crisis management\, co-curricular education\, sex-blind housing programs\, and community justice. \nDavid lives in Saint Helens\, Oregon with his spouse and a bevy of rescue animals: two cats (Aldor and Papaya) and three dogs (Ace Octavus\, Ellie May\, and Puck). \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/responding-to-animal-crimes-through-a-restorative-justice-approach/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 3/30/22 - Introduction to a Quality of Life App for Animal Shelters - The AAWA
DESCRIPTION:Quality of Life reflects the balance between positive and negative emotions experienced by an animal and is particularly important to consider in animal shelters where animals can face a myriad of stressors. Quality of Life assessments provide a methodological approach to scoring welfare. They can include physiological measurements and owner-completed questionnaires. In the shelter\, Quality of Life assessments can help shelters to identify animals with poor welfare so they can be fast-tracked for intervention and track changes in the welfare of individual animals during their shelter stay. However\, most of the existing quality-of-life assessment tools are not suitable for the shelter environment. Many of the tools require the assessor to have a thorough understanding of the animal’s typical behavior and preferences\, a prerequisite that is hard to meet in the shelter environment and fail to capture important environmental parameters that are unique to the shelter environment. \nThe Penn Vet Quality of Life Tool app was developed to provide animal shelters with a practical\, research-based method of assessing the quality of life of cats and dogs in their care. The assessment covers three areas of animal welfare: environment\, behavior\, and physical health. Attendees will learn about the development of the Penn Vet Quality of Life Tool\, the contents of the assessment\, and the data produced by the app\, including the quality-of-life scores and figures. The talk will include preliminary data about the tool’s use in animal shelters and discuss future plans for the app. \nThis session is part of the Shelter Medicine series\, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement. \nThis live and recorded program is: \n\nApproved for 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit\nPending approval for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize RACE\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://learning.theaawa.org/p/sheltermed-3-30-22

SUMMARY:Webinar – 3/30/22 – No one told me about Teenaged Dogs and Cats! What to expect in these developmental stages – ACVB
DESCRIPTION:Pet guardians enroll their puppies and kittens in socialization classes with the hopes of bringing up a well-rounded social pet; good with people\, other animals and being in different environments. However\, sometimes these pets still go through a “difficult” developmental period and can exhibit behavioral problems. Can something be done to prevent this occurrence? What should we expect as our adolescent dogs and cats go through the life stages after socialization? How do we manage and work with them? This webinar will answer these questions and more! \nDr. Wailani Sung has a passion for helping owners prevent or effectively manage behavior problems in companion animals\, enabling them to maintain a high quality of life. Dr. Sung obtained her Master’s degree and Doctorate in Psychology\, with a special interest in animal behavior from The University of Georgia. Upon completion of these graduate programs\, she obtained a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine\, then board certification in veterinary behavioral medicine. Dr. Sung is currently the Director of Behavior and Welfare programs at the San Francisco SPCA. In this position\, Dr. Sung contributes to the management and treatment of the behavioral needs of the shelter pets at the San Francisco SPCA. She also oversees the shelter behavior program and also provides behavioral consultations at the Behavior Specialty Clinic located at the San Francisco SPCA. She does not consider any patient or problem hopeless\, and her treatment protocols are based on scientific information about animal behavior\, psychopharmacology\, and learning theory. \nDr. Sung frequently lectures on managing common behavioral issues and consults with veterinary practices to design programs and train staff in best practices for making vet visits less stressful and developing treatment protocols for patients with behavioral issues. Dr. Sung also provide consultations to shelter and rescue organizations. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5727838076149537547
