From A Tip To Criminal Investigation

An anonymous tip is often what brings law enforcement officers to your door in these matters. At the first sign of a criminal investigation, you need to get legal advice. Do not make a statement or attempt to explain your way out of the situation.

The Texas animal cruelty statutes are broad but include the requirement of an intentional, reckless or knowing action. Here are several examples of the broad categories:

• Seriously overworking an animal
• Transporting or confining an animal in a cruel manner
• Failing to provide necessary food, water, care of shelter for an animal
• Killing an animal without the owner’s effective consent

These charges need to be taken seriously. If you own a livestock operation or breed animals, any accusation could ruin your reputation along with your business.
