Forensics First
Good news! We’re ready to tell you what we were so hush-hush about yesterday. On NBC’s “Today” show this morning we unveiled to the nation the first-ever “Mobile Animal Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Unit.”
In other words, the ASPCA now has its own CSI truck! This is a specially designed vehicle outfitted with state-of-the-art forensics tools as well as medical equipment tailored to animal patients and the victims of crimes. This is a big step for man, and an even bigger step for animal-kind!
The truck will operate under the leadership of the nation’s premier forensic veterinarian, the ASPCA’s Dr. Melinda Merck, who, as you may know, is the nation’s only “animal CSI,” and who most recently assisted Federal authorities in the Michael Vick investigation. The mobile unit, which will be available to assist at crime scenes nationally, will allow Dr. Merck to examine and care for animals found at suspected crime scenes, and includes a surgical suite for animals in need of urgent care.
Talk about taking the prosecution of animal cruelty into the new millennium!

WOW! I THINK IS IS SO AMAZING WHAT THEY CAN DO. ITS SOO COOL THAT THEY CAN HAVE A TRUCK TO HELP ANIMLAS
Thank you to all those who understand about animals and their sensitive feelings. For the determination and time it takes to fight animal cruelty and bring it this far. What a blessing to have such great equipment. I only wish I had the training to stand beside Dr.Merck as she helps fight crime and cruelty to our loving and loyal animals friends.
THATS GREATTTT ! :]

What about human children that are abused!?! Do they have a commercial!?! NO!!! 550,000 confirmed cases of child abuse were reported in 2005. 1,460 of them died, 77% of them were under 4years old. And a vast majority of child abuse cases go unreported. 80% of child abuse victims are under 3 years, MORE HELPLESS THAN ANIMALS, ALL OF WHICH CAN BITE OR OTHERWISE DEFEND THEMSELVES!!! Victims of child abuse are more likely to use drugs, and commit crimes. AS IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE PREVETION OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN WAS MODELED AFTER THE ASPCA!!!! AND IT WASM'T UNTILL 1974 THAT CHILD ABUSE WAS MADE ILLEGAL!!! I think that the message here is clear! We need to help children,INNOCENT VICTIMS, before we worry about pets! HUMAN LIFE IS INVAULABLE!!! I love animals as much as anyone, much more than some, but we need to help the innocent children that suffer and die every day!! THEY need your help!!
