The joint venture, believed to be the nation's first, will "promote the application of forensic sciences to veterinary medicine to aid in the understanding, prevention and prosecution of animal cruelty."
The program is built on education, research and applied casework, reports Melinda Merck, DVM, senior director of veterinary forensics for the ASPCA, and it will be established within the William R.
