I think most vets would feel morally bound to report incidents of mistreatment, but I agree there should be legislation covering it. Don't forget that in Dagney's case, the innocent owner took the dog to the vet, not the perpetrator. I guess that in this case legislation would force some action to be taken, even if the owner was reluctant to press charges. Of course, there may well already be laws in place in Texas and Pennsylvania.
