Animal Cruelty
and Neglect Laws-
Please Make Certain to verify the accuracy of each state law by
contacting your local animal law enforcement agency and request the EXACT
citations for your state.
- IF YOU SUSPECT AN INCIDENT OF ANIMAL CRUELTY, ALWAYS START BY
REPORTING IT TO THE APPROPRIATE LEGAL AUTHORITIES. It is rare that law enforcement will
just go with anonymous tips. BE PREPARED to leave your name and contact
information.
- RECORD THE DATE AND TIME AND NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL SPOKEN
WITH. ASK FOR SOME FORM OF
INCIDENT NUMBER.
- ASK FOR SOMEONE TO MEET YOU AT THE SCENE, IF YOU SUSPECT AN ANIMAL
IS IN IMMEDIATE PERIL INSISENT ON IT HAPPENING IMMEDIATELY.
- IF POSSIBLE, HAVE MORE THAN ONE PERSON WITNESS THE SCENE, TAKE
NOTES, AND IF POSSIBLE WITHOUT VIOLATING ANY TRESPASSING LAWS TAKE
PICTURES.
The best
most recent resource I have found regarding one site for all state animal
cruelty laws can be found at Michigan State

Llama and Alpaca Training
Cathy
Spalding Alpaca and Llama Training Clinics the Gentle Spirit Way :
Behavior and Training Clinics for Llamas and Alpacas (and the humans they
own). I have had the experience of
watching Cathy in action and was doubly blessed to be asked to host a clinic
put on her by in the past. It was well worth the time. Her LLAMA TALK © CD is a true first and
must be seen to be fully appreciated!
If you’ve done it once do it again! The second time around is even
better!
John
Mallon - Gentling & Training Llamas: Employing common sense and logic to build trust
between owner and llama. I took
the opportunity to attend one of John’s Clinics in the spring of 2003 and
indeed the logic and approach has provided excellent insights into the mind
of a llama. Another repeat clinic is in order for us very soon!
Marty
McGee Bennett, Llama & Alpaca Training : Marty McGee has been a llama/alpaca enthusiast
since 1982, studied and practiced TTeam since
1987. I have not had the opportunity
to attend a clinic YET, but have taken the opportunity to watch her videos
and have gleaned much from them. I can
only imagine what face to face would be like, and sounds like an opportunity
may be coming soon!.
Jim Logan Click
& Reward Llama Training : Positive reinforcement training technique developed especially for lamas. Again his videos and approach to working
with llamas is another set of opportunities to just add to your knowledge
base.
