When it comes to solving crimes against animals, today’s guest is the sleuth you want on the case. Dr. Melinda Merck is one of the nation’s pioneering veterinarians, and senior director of veterinary forensics of the ASPCA’s anti-cruelty team. She’s an old friend of the Petcast, and we’re pleased to have her back to talk about a new innovation that uses 21st century technology including DNA testing to help investigate and prosecute dog fighting.Plus, the Petcasters confirm Christine Dorchak’s claim that greyhounds are the only dog referenced in the Bible and discuss an Iranian fatwa versus dogs. Also, Emily still doesn’t get snakes as pets.Web: www.thepetcast.comE-mail: [email protected]: 702-997-3300
