mr.d Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Solving Crimes Against Animals PSU conference teaches vets investigation techniques. UNIVERSITY PARK, MARCH 27, 2015(AP)-------- - The techniques we've all see on CSI may soon be used to help solve animal crimes. This weekend, Penn State is hosting the first ever veterinary forensic pathology conference. A forensic pathologist determines the cause of death by examining a body after death. At this conference, forensic pathologists who investigate human deaths, are teaching their veterinary counterparts how to use those techniques on animals. Veterinary Pathologist Jason Brooks says, "people are becoming more and more concerned about animal crimes, animal neglect, and animal abuse. They're pushing officers to investigate and prosecute crimes against animals, more so than in the past." Brooks says the three day conference, hosted by the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences and the Forensic Science Program at Penn State has drawn veterinary pathologists from all over North America. They're focusing on everything from gunshot wounds to DNA analysis. Brooks says they're learning to better process cases which will help law enforcement prosecute crimes against animals. http://www.wearecentralpa.com/story/d/story/solving-crimes-against-animals/27620/H73yS1LF8EyQkyrNIJgFVg Pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UstaParty Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Let's just hope they start policing a little better when it comes to animals. They won't need the forensics if they would just listen when someone calls them about a poor suffering animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
