Book description
Veterinary Forensics, Second Edition is a practical reference
on applying veterinary forensic findings in animal cruelty cases. Now
providing a greater focus on findings in animals, the second edition
continues to offer guidance with more detailed information on crime
scene investigation, forensic testing and findings, handling evidence,
and testifying in court. Key changes to the new edition include new
chapters on abuse in large animals, poultry, and birds; a standalone
chapter on entomology; a new section on large scale cruelty
investigation; an expanded section on pain and suffering; more
pathology information; and more photos, forms, and information throughout.
Logs and workbooks from the book are available on a companion website
at www. wiley. com/go/vetforensics, allowing readers to download,
customize, and use these forms in forensics investigations.
Veterinary Forensics is an essential resource for
veterinarians, pathologists, attorneys, and investigators working on
animal abuse cases.
