Interview! Martha Smith-Blackmore, DVM, Founder of Forensic Veterinary Investigations, LLC
"Don't worry about things you can't change…take that passion and make it action and see what you can do."
*Please note, while not graphic, this episode deals with topics related to animal cruelty that some listeners may find disturbing. If you need to skip it, might we suggest listening to this gem from an earlier episode?
During her work as a shelter veterinarian, Martha became curious about a field that barely existed: applying medical forensics to injured and deceased animals. With a group of like-minded thinkers, Martha helped found the International Veterinary Forensic Sciences Association. In her role as an forensic investigator, Martha says one must "take what you see and what you know. and craft a story about what happened." She is a skilled witness during court cases involving animal abuse, neglect and cruelty, with a goal of being "a voice for the animal". She gives advice for cat colony caretakers to help them figure out how to get help when a member of their colony is injured or killed.
