This ebook is excellent for anyone who wants to learn about veterinary forensics or who is already working in the animal-welfare/protection field. It is also extremely important for animal control or police officers who handle animal cruelty cases because it emphasizes proper evidence collection, which, if done incorrectly, can cause the loss of important cases and allow an abuser to be exonerated and set free to torture more voiceless victims.
