Humane Society Training Law Enforcement on Animal Cruelty Investigations

The Human Society of the United States is training more than 700 law enforcement personnel in Oklahoma on how to investigate and handle animal cruelty cases. Meatingplace reports the free training was announced last week. HSUS told Meatingplace that it had offered the training to law enforcement across the country for years. Asked if the training extends to farm animals, an HSUS representative said the training “teaches officers how to investigate animal crimes from neglect, animal fighting, puppy mills, and other types of abuse,” adding officers may be called to a scene that includes the abuse of farm animals. HSUS will provide information on how to handle animal cruelty cases from first response to prosecution.
