Vet or animal cop?
Hi,
I am actually working on my biology degree, with a veterinarian medicine concentration. I am wondering what type of education or experience I would need if I decided to become an ASPCA animal cop instead of a veterinarian? Would I qualify with a biology degree and vet tech experience? I am on a war path to prevent animal cruelty, and can't decide what field I could help this cause with more? THANKS!

I am not sure what the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement officer requirements are. I know it varies with the jurisdiction around the country who investigates cruelty so check with your area or the ASPCA. Another aspect we are seeing an interest in is vet techs getting crime scene investigation training and assisting human CSI's on animal cases or otherwise providing service to cruelty investigators. I think your qualifications are excellent as vet tech - these investigations require someone knowing an animal's response to fear and pain which vets and vet techs are the experts at knowing this type of behavior. Good luck!!!

That's how I did it.. with the patch. Some people smoke for the oral satisfaction.. so gum might work better for them. That worked for my son, who has quit long ago.
No gift in the world as seeing a compassion story such as this. This is what Christmas is about. Not the gifts or even the food. It is the compassion to make a difference in someones life either it be an animal or a person.
Peggy, lol. I love your attitude!
It must have been a miracle. I had a bit of extra funds left over in my yearly donation account and so my husband and I made a donation through his work, who matches his donation.

I know.. that really bothers me and the photo's seem to be hiding the size issues. We may never know.. rumours get started here as quickly and easily as changing your socks. I am grateful, however, to know that there are alot of people in this forum…
Stopped smoking 13 months ago. Used the patch for only 3 weeks. The patch..how does that make you vomit? The gum maybe. The patch is a 10 week program and it will only work if you are determined to stop.
