Legal Protections for Veterinarians Reporting Animal Abuse

Michigan law offers notable protections for veterinarians who report animal abuse. Under state regulations, veterinarians and veterinary technicians are immune from civil or criminal liability when reporting suspected animal cruelty in good faith. This legal protection encourages the reporting of abuse without fear of retaliation, ensuring that animals receive the care and protection they need.
