Veterinary reporting of animal welfare concerns

[摘要] With the advent of increasing public awareness regarding animal welfare issues as demonstrated by such television programs as “Animal Cops,” W5 exposés, and “Hoarding: Buried Alive,” public expectation has increased for veterinarians and law enforcement agencies to pursue validation and corrective action when animal abuse is suspected. Animal abuse can include both deliberate mistreatment and unintentional neglect which lead to impairment of an animal’s health and well-being.
