In this episode, we’re joined by representatives from the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) to dive into their highly anticipated State Rankings Report, a comprehensive annual review of how each U.S. state protects—or fails to protect—animals through its laws. We break down the top-performing states, the ones falling behind, and what these rankings really mean for the animals, the public, and the professionals enforcing the laws.
From felony penalties and mandatory reporting to courtroom victories and legislative gaps, ALDF walks us through the trends, wins, and challenges they’re seeing across the country. Whether you're an animal control officer, shelter leader, advocate, or policymaker, this conversation sheds light on where progress is being made—and where urgent change is still needed.
🐾 Learn how your state ranks, what’s working, and how you can be part of the push for stronger animal protection laws.
