If you are planning to visit Florida and do a bit of poaching, illegal hunting or fishing…You might want to stop in your tracks and rethink that idea. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation has stepped up their game when it comes to hunting down these type of criminals and are getting results in court.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation now has their very own forensics lab. Yes, they just need a few drops of blood to prove that you have had an endangered species in your possession. Yes, they are all up on the CSI. They will not need to catch you in the act…they can prove you had the animal even after the criminal thinks they have disposed of it.
Checkout the video for a little more info about the new FWC forensics lab in Palm Beach, Florida.
Using DNA to help prosecute animal abusers or poachers is on the fast track to putting the fear of getting caught into anyone who would even consider it. Back in March, 2 cats got a little justice served when Animal DNA Helped to Catch Their Abusers. Now that Florida has their own in state lab…I wonder how many other states will be following?
