There is a dearth of research on animal cruelty investigations policy and work, despite its importance for protecting animals from illegal forms of cruelty. This study provides baseline data about the approach used in Manitoba, one of the only Canadian provinces where animal protection is publicly funded. By integrating statistical and qualitative data collected through interviews with key informants, this paper elucidates how animal cruelty investigations are organized and undertaken in the province. Although animal protection in Manitoba is publicly funded, the workforce responsible for undertaking investigations is a cross-section of public and private actors with different occupational classifications and working conditions.
尽管动物虐待调查政策与工作对于保护动物免受非法虐待形式至关重要，但相关研究却十分匮乏。本研究提供了关于加拿大仅有的几个由公共资金资助动物保护的省份之一——曼尼托巴省所采用方法的基础数据。通过整合通过对关键信息提供者的访谈收集到的统计数据和定性数据，本文阐明了该省动物虐待调查是如何组织和开展的。尽管曼尼托巴省的动物保护由公共资金资助，但负责进行调查的工作人员是具有不同职业分类和工作条件的公共和私人行为体的混合群体。
