Yep, also child abuse and domestic violence. That’s why veterinarians are (in the US) required reporters. Under threat of potentially having action against our licenses, we are required to report animal abuse to law enforcement. If animal control goes out and sees anything that indicates child abuse or domestic abuse, then other legal entities get involved.
Kind of makes me wonder if animal control, CPS, or anyone was sent to do in home inspections…
(of course not)
Also, the only lesson I’m getting from this story is that porcupines (while black usually) do not suffer the same neglect from the justice system that a black human would see.
