5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is straightforward and helpful. It covers many topics, including those easily overlooked such as the importance of good record keeping when performing investigations. All of the information is presented in a clear, concise format that is easy to read and understand. Dr. Leslie Sinclair is an excellent writer with years of experience in the field. The knowledge she shares in this book is invaluable! Definitely a must read for veterinarians and veterinary staff! Every clinic and shelter should have a copy on hand for reference.
A must have book for every veterinarian and veterinary technician January 25, 2007

This book is long overdue for Veterinarians to take true to their oath and go beyond the call of duty in diagnosing, collecting and reporting evidence of abused and tortured animals they see in their hospitals.
Author Dr. Randall Lockwood has spent many years investigating the connection between animal cruelty and violence against human beings. I have read his books and heard him speak on these issues which has opened my eyes to a reality that is so deeply shocking. Even I, a certified veterinary technician, was so unaware how much my profession could contribute to the conviction and prosecution of these perpetrators, not just for the revolting behavior in harming defensless animals, but for statistically proven odds that the same perpetrators will go on to, or continue to harm human beings also. Every Veterinary clinic or hospital should have a copy of this book in their practice and not be afraid to use it as a bible to get involved in helping to make society a better place. You could not find better advice handed to you on a silver platter than the tools provided in this extremely well written CSI format of animal forensics!
