Join us for essential training on mandated animal cruelty protocols. This
course will clearly outline when reports should be made, who they should be
directed to, and what actions should follow once a report is submitted.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of why reporting is not
only ethically and morally imperative, but also a legal obligation for all
professionals in animal welfare and public safety. Ensure you are up-to-date
with current regulations and best practices to protect animal welfare in your
community.
