What To Do When You’re Suspicious Of Animal Abuse Or Neglect

Veterinary professionals are dedicated to providing care and treatment that allows animals to enjoy longer lives free from distress, pain and suffering. Surprisingly though, many veterinarians have not received training in recognizing, reporting and responding to incidents of animal neglect and abuse. Many also do not understand how pivotal their training and expertise is in addressing these crimes and ensuring justice for these animals. Tune in to this VetFolio Voice podcast episode as Dr. Cassi chats with the team at Victim to Verdict about what to do when you are presented with a case you suspect might result from abuse or neglect. If you’ve never received formal training associated with abuse, this is a don’t-miss episode — you’ll learn about the crucial role you have in acting on your suspicions, get guidelines for reporting abuse (which isn’t as intimidating as it may seem), and get justice for these animals.
