reported. Others that are reported are often not pursued because
evidence is gathered incorrectly. In addition, laws pertaining to animals
are sometimes misunderstood, even by authorities who are charged
with enforcing them. For that reason, those who care about animals
need to be familiar with the law, as well as how to best present evidence
and eyewitness accounts of cruelty and neglect.
The program will be presented by Sheila McGee, an animal advocate
and student of HVCC’s Animal Law program. This program is free
and open to the public, and reservations are recommended.
