The following is a communication from a veterinarian who asks questions about reporting animal abuse.As the Director of International Animal Law has frequently stated, most veterinarians are goodhearted people who genuinely care about the well-being of their patients and their patients owner. Veterinarians are also people who experience conflicts of interests and dilemmas in the course of fulfilling their professional duties and personal commitments. The veterinarian's letter illustrates one of those issues ( See http://www.myevt.com/story/animal-abuse-report-or-not-report ) which has moral, ethical, and legal considerations attached.

Thanks is given to the member of International Animal Law for bringing the veterinarians communication to the attention of IAL.
