How does a cruelty investigation start? Who should be involved? How does it evolve through our criminal justice system? There will also be an overview of local, state, and federal laws and regulations that apply to animal cases. You will also learn what is needed to make a winnable case. Learn what resources are available here in Vermont and beyond to assist with animal cruelty investigations. Included in the discussion will be an update on Vermont's state-wide Cruelty Response System and an overview of the Humane Society of the United State's First Strike campaign, which focuses on the link between animal cruelty and human violence. Speakers include Kathryn Smith, deputy state's attorney, Rutland County State's Attorney's Office; Janet Carini DVM, owner, Rutland Veterinary Clinic at Castleton; Joanne Bourbeau, senior state director, Humane Society of the United States. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. 4.75 CLE credits are available for this event.
