What can HSLC do about animal abuse and neglect?
Legally, HSLC has no authority to intervene on behalf of an animal that anyone suspects is being abused or neglected. HSLC must refer all animal welfare calls to Livingston County Animal Control. HSLC can assist callers with determining what constitutes animal abuse or neglect under Michigan laws. HSLC is an advocate for animals, but is not a policing agency.
