Edie Falco: Stop the Violence
Actor Edie Falco is best known for her role as Carmela Soprano, the tough, devoted mom from HBO’s hit TV series The Sopranos. This talented actor showed a soft spot for animals when she took on the role of animal advocate and helped to spread the message about the link between animal abuse and domestic violence.
As Carmela, she was no stranger to the consequences of violence, and in real life, Edie knows that when humans abuse an animal companion, they are more likely to abuse another human.
