Veterinary forensics

Veterinary forensics involves using veterinary medicine to investigate crimes involving animals or situations where animal injuries indicate criminal activity. Veterinarians analyze evidence such as animal wounds, traces of toxins, or suspicious deaths to help determine causes and identify potential abuse, neglect, or illegal activities like animal fighting. This field combines veterinary expertise with investigative techniques, aiding law enforcement and legal proceedings. Ultimately, veterinary forensics helps protect animals and holds offenders accountable by providing scientific evidence rooted in animal health and biology.
