Learning how to put together a successful case against an alleged animal abuser is an essential skill for prosecutors and law enforcement.

A former prosecutor in the Monmouth County, N.J., District Attorney's office, Sherry Ramsey, Esq., has successfully prosecuted dozens of animal cruelty and neglect cases involving pets, wildlife, and even farm animals.

As the HSUS' director of animal cruelty prosecutions, Sherry will be presenting training seminars on prosecuting animal cruelty cases throughout the year. Geared toward law enforcement personnel and prosecuting attorneys, the presentations will draw from Sherry's experience to help participants learn the essential skills they need to successfully prosecute animal abuse cases.
