“…If the remains are human in origin, their dating is usually ascertained by radiometric analyses and cooperates in allocating the case to be studied in the discipline realms of archaeology or forensic science, the latter being conventionally applicable to cases which occurred during or after WWII. Animal remains, in contrast, are examined with regards to biological and environmental concerns, even though the recent rise of veterinary forensics suggests the possibility of investigating on potentially unlawful deaths or killings of animals (Merck, 2013; Parry & Stoll, 2020).…”

Foraminifera are marine single‐celled organisms, ubiquitous in marine environments, present in brackish waters and absent in terrestrial locations. Their presence has been associated with archaeological and forensic studies only rarely and just once and superficially with bones of terrestrial mammals. In this study, a new association is presented between foraminifera enclosed in the dissolving trabecular spaces of terrestrial mammalian bones, recovered in underwater archaeological excavations between 1968 and 1980. Research on the new association aims to detail the micro‐characterization of bone in underwater environments, leading to a better understanding of bone taphonomic trajectories, the chronological sequences of changes occurring between death and the incorporation of the remains of an organism within the depositional environment. The analysis of taphonomic trajectories is known to hold relevance in distinct disciplines, such as archaeology, paleontology, and forensic sciences. Different foraminiferal taxa are linked to different marine environments, characterized by specific ranges of water depth, amount of light and oxygen, temperature, and composition of sediment. The association between foraminifera and terrestrial mammalian bones indicates deposition in a marine or brackish environment; thus, the analysis of the specific ecology of the identified foraminiferal taxa can point to a specific environment, adding information to paleontological, archaeological, or forensics casework.

“…Cada vez se hacen más preocupantes los crímenes en contra de la fauna silvestre ya que van en incremento. Dentro de estos está el tráfico y la posesión ilegal de especímenes, el comercio de individuos o sus partes, la caza -por lo que también se ven afectados sus hábitats-y el maltrato animal en general [5] Leidy Mariana Yepes-Gómez, Juliana M. Martínez-Garro Flora (CITES) [37], en esta se pactó un acuerdo internacional para conservación de la vida silvestre debido a que gran cantidad de especies estaban en peligro de extinción por el tráfico ilegal, que es tan lucrativo como el tráfico de drogas, de armas o la trata de blancas. La Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) ha calificado estos delitos como una amenaza para su misión en el desarrollo sostenible [38].…”

“…Su objetivo es dar soporte con base en fundamentos científicos aplicados a elementos materiales probatorios y evidencias físicas (EMP y EF) recolectadas de un suceso tanto en procesos civiles como penales [1][2][3]. Esta rama de la medicina veterinaria se aplica al bienestar animal, es decir, maltrato o negligencia, a la determinación del momento y causa de la muerte de un animal, su procedencia sea vivo o muerto y la relación de estos con delitos en contra de humanos [4][5][6][7].…”

La veterinaria forense debe generar una conexión entre el campo jurídico y el médico-biológico. Se debe convertir en una especialidad independiente que brinde los soportes necesarios para la impartición de justicia. Cuando se estudia el maltrato animal, es necesario establecer el tipo de lesiones, las causas de estas y el momento de ocurrencia. La práctica de esta disciplina en Colombia es relativamente nueva, ya que gracias a la Ley 1774 de 2016 se origina el marco jurídico para la integridad física y emocional de los animales, el cual permite tipificar como delito el maltrato a cualquier especie animal y crea la necesidad de establecer las metodologías para abordar la investigación de estos actos punibles. Aunque existen estos soportes legales que dan luz del qué hacer para un profesional del área, aún quedan vacíos legales. Esta revisión contextualiza las diferentes aplicaciones de la veterinaria legal con las leyes colombianas y el soporte que pueden dar otras áreas afines. Por tal razón, se hace necesario un trabajo holístico al momento del peritaje y la colaboración multidisciplinaria para abarcar varios acampos de aplicación.

“…In Italy, for example, it is mandatory to report suspected animal poisoning cases to law enforcement agencies [ 8 ], and in the United States, the American Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has been involved in handling cases of potential toxicity since 1977 [ 9 ]. Compliance with such mandates has contributed to the rapidly emerging field of veterinary forensics, which in turn associates acts of cruelty to animals with violence against humans [ 10 ].…”

Anticholinesterase pesticides are a main cause of the intentional or accidental poisoning of animals. Anticholinesterases include several substances that cause the overstimulation of both central and peripheral acetylcholine-dependent neurotransmission. Forensic analyses of poisoning cases require high levels of expertise, are costly, and often do not provide reliable quantitative information for unambiguous conclusions. The purpose of the present study was to develop and validate a method of high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC–DAD) for the identification and quantitation of n-methyl carbamates, organophosphates and respective metabolites from biological samples of animals that were suspected of poisoning. HPLC–DAD is reliable, fast, simplistic and cost-effective. The method was validated for biological samples obtained from stomach contents, liver, vitreous humor and blood from four different animal species. The validation of the method was achieved using the following analytical parameters: linearity, precision, accuracy, selectivity, recovery, and matrix effect. The method showed linearity at the range of 25–500 μg/mL, and the correlation coefficient (r2) values were >0.99 for all matrices. Precision and accuracy were determined by the (a) coefficient of variation (CV), (b) relative standard deviation low-quality control (LQC), (c) medium-quality control (QCM), and (d) high-quality control (QCA). The indicated parameters were all less than 15%. The recovery of analytes ranged from 31 to 71%. The analysis of results showed no significant interfering peaks due to common xenobiotics or matrix effects. The abovementioned method was used to positively identify pesticide analytes in 44 of the 51 animal samples that were suspected of poisoning, demonstrating its usefulness as a forensic tool.
