Animal encounters are increasingly common for regulatory enforcement officers in the line of duty. Increase your situational awareness, learn how to identify canine behavior (and recognize threats), and decrease your chances of injury with this training course from Marcus C. Kellum, MM/PA.

Dog bites can be traumatic, both emotionally and physically, and it’s crucial to ensure the safety of everyone involved. In Texas, dog bites must be reported to local authorities within 24 hours by the dog owner, medical professionals, or animal control. This reporting helps keep communities safe by identifying potentially dangerous dogs and preventing future incidents. If you or someone you know has been bitten, make sure the incident is reported to avoid further harm. 🛑🐕 #DogBiteSafety #TexasLaw #PublicSafety #InjuryPrevention #LegalSupport

Captive CON$ervation Exposed: “10 Notorious Animal Abusers 'Tiger King' Didn't Expose” PETA Foundation attorneys helped to secure a first of its kind courtroom victory establishing that prematurely separating federally protected big-cat cubs from their mothers and using them for public encounters violates federal law. And now that the Big Cat Public Safety Act has passed, preventing hands-on public interactions with big-cats, PETA is focusing on  businesses that tear other baby animals away from their mothers and exploit them for photo ops and other hands-on interactions. The primary blame for such exploitation should be directed at the nefarious individuals and organizations that continue to facilitate hands-on “ambassador animal” programs. That being said, at some point in time the public must take responsibility for engaging in and supporting such exploitative exotic animal encounters. In 2024, ignorance and ego are no longer acceptable or viable excuses. https://lnkd.in/g94teJ-X #captiveconservation #bcpsa #TigerKing #AmbassadorAnimal #ambassadoranimals #TheConservationGameMovie #peta
