The Humane Society of the United States teamed up with Vermont
groups to provide Animal Cruelty Investigation Training at
Forget-Me-Not Farm in Tinmouth, Vt. Friday, Sept. 28 from 8:30 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. The workshop included mock crime scenes to simulate
real-life settings.
The hands-on workshop was put on in cooperation with the Vermont
Humane Federation and the Vermont Criminal Justice Training Council
as part of a series of three day-long workshops on animal cruelty
investigation conducted every September at the Vermont Police
Academy. Participants used the skills and techniques learned in the
classroom in a real-life setting. Forget-me-Not Farm hosted the
training. Some of the mock crime scenes involved large animals and
a puppy mill operation.
