Animal Cruelty Protection Trial Tactics Training in Oklahoma
The mission of the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ADLF) is to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. ADLF increases protections for all animals through five programs - Animal Law, Criminal Justice, Litigation, Legislative Affairs, and Pro Bono - that work together in a comprehensive and integrated manner to shift the conditions that enable animal suffering, all the while reinforcing progress. The Animal Cruelty Prosecution Trial Tactics Training in Oklahoma is co-hosted by ADLF, the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, and the Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office. This first-of-its-kind training through ALDF’s Criminal Justice Program fulfills a genuine need for prosecutors in a region where animal crimes are too often under-resourced and animal cruelty may go unaddressed.
The Arnall Community Funds are administered through Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF) and provide grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the state of Oklahoma that are working to improve outcomes for individuals, children and families involved with animal welfare and in the child welfare and criminal justice systems. The OCCF staff manages the grant administration process and all grantmaking decisions are made by OCCF Trustees.
