All 50 states now criminalize cruelty to animals in one way or another. With animals as live evidence unable to put words to their suffering or the criminal act perpetrated upon them, attaining justice for victim animals is conditional on the successful collaboration of veterinarians, law enforcement, and prosecutors. Not only do these cases require each of these disciplines to understand and execute their role with precision in order to be successful, but they must also understand the duty, constraints, and capabilities of each other in the context of an animal cruelty case. The laws may differ between states in nuanced ways, but the foundation of a thorough and fair animal cruelty investigation remains relatively static across state lines. This book provides a multidisciplinary guide to building that foundation in every case.
