Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

NACA/Justice Clearinghouse Presents: In animal cruelty cases, the animal’s body—whether dead or alive—is a crime scene. Many law enforcement professionals have not been trained to properly preserve and search that crime scene, and yet they are forced to do so, without compromising the evidence, the defendant’s constitutional rights, or the animal’s health or life. Join the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s attorneys to discuss how these and other issues can be resolved for a successful prosecution, and how they can be addressed or avoided in future cases.
