S04E162 Animal Cruelty’s Connection to Domestic Violence & More with Joyce Glass

Animanl cruelty is often dismissed as “someone else’s problem,” but it frequently overlaps with violence in the home. Attorney Joyce Glass joins us to discuss the legal and human realties behind cruelty investigations and why they can serve as early warning signs for abuse. 

Joyce shares how a dog named Lucy led her into animal protection work and how her advocacy now includes legislation, law enforcement partnerships, and courtroom work. We also discuss policy efforts like banning roadside animal sales and the broader issues tied to them, including fraud, public health risks, and sick animals being sold to families. 

We also explore the connection between animal abuse and interpersonal violence. Joyce explains why cross-reporting between animal control and social services matters, what warning signs neighbors should notice, and what goes into building a strong animal cruelty case, from evidence collection to veterinary forensics and proper charging decisions. 

If you care about community safety, criminal law, animal welfare, or building better systems through collaboration, this conversation will give you clear next steps and a framework you can share.
