The Concerns Over Pets & Housing in Massachusetts. The Animal Rescue League of Boston saw 29% of their pets surrendered in 2024 were due to housing-related issues such as sudden housing instability, homelessness or having to move to a new place that does not allow pets. To combat housing related challenges for pets and their owners, the ARL and MA lawmakers are working on legislation that aims to maintain stable housing for families with pets in an economic crisis as well as ensure pet parity across housing authorities. ARL President & CEO, Dr. Edward Schettino will join us to discuss!
Karen Read and Her Legal Battle. In the latest turn of the Karen Read legal battle, a federal judge denied Karen Read’s attempt to drop two of the charges against her on double jeopardy grounds. Read’s defense attorneys argued that a mistrial declaration in her first trial was not necessary and that jurors privately voted to acquit Read. Tonight, Dan discusses the legalities of the Karen Read case and wants to hear your thoughts!
