Boise City Councilman TJ Thomson Talks Animals Rights

In light of what's going on in the world these days, it's easy to overlook problems that still plague our own community. Standing apart from the crowd, former Boise City Councilman TJ Thomson has dedicated years of his career to fighting animal cruelty, revamping and updating animal codes both in Boise and around the area, and fighting for the voiceless animals that suffer daily. All while promoting common sense reforms that consider all perspectives, rather than just playing party politics.
Even after leaving office, TJ is still working with local and national partners to change the way we enforce animal rights through education and dialogue.

In this episode, we'll discuss in depth what his animal code changes actually meant to Boise, what causes people to abuse and hoard animals in the first place, some of the barriers to changing the landscape of animal cruelty nationally, and where we can go from here.
