From cruelty investigations to dangerous dog proceedings, what does it take to enforce companion animal protection laws? This panel offers a behind-the-scenes look at how these emotional and complex cases are built. Hear three distinct perspectives from the front lines: speakers Chris Schindler, Director of Law Enforcement at the MSPCA, who leads on-the-ground investigations; Lynsey Legier, a Staff Attorney with the MSPCA’s Animal Protection Division, who handles the resulting legal actions; and Jeremy Cohen, founder of Boston Dog Lawyers, a private firm specializing in these unique cases.
