The "Animal Welfare and Poultry Investigations" course is designed to equip animal law enforcement officers, Animal Control, Animal Services, the public, and professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to investigate and address potential cases of cruelty, neglect, and violations of animal welfare laws related to poultry. As more individuals keep poultry in their backyards, understanding how to handle such investigations effectively is becoming increasingly important. Animal Law enforcement is receiving increasing calls and must respond appropriately and efficiently to address concerns and ensure compliance with relevant regulations. Investigating backyard poultry issues can be important for ensuring the health and welfare of the birds, as well as addressing any potential violations of local regulations or animal welfare laws.
