A solid plan to avoid being held liable for deaths of animals due to extreme neglect includes setting up procedures and protocols which clearly outline the care needed to keep animals healthy and safe. This includes adequate facilities, daily checks, adequate diet/nutrition, regular medical exams/treatment, veterinary attention as needed and proper disposition (adoption/euthanasia) of any animal which becomes sick or injured. Further measures may include: establishing a board of directors with a knowledgeable animal-welfare member who can provide oversight; enlisting volunteers with experience in animal care; regularly monitoring compliance; creating public awareness initiatives to ensure follow-up visits by licensed Animal Control Officers when necessary. Maintaining detailed records is critical - including keeping track of vet visits and treatments; disposal methods of dead animals (burial vs. cremation); transport details in case an animal needs emergency veterinary care etc... Having policies in place regarding breeding practices will provide additional assurance that potential litigants have been made aware what level of welfare the organization provides for its animals. It's also essential be mindful if new species are added or existing residents are relocated as new legislation might apply - it's important that both state statutes protecting various domesticated species and the laws governing wildlife be understood by anyone working with them. Lastly, obtain legal advice specific tailored to your situation if possible prior to making any changes or introducing novel elements so you know you understand all implications from both a criminal & civil liability point-of-view

There are several ways to avoid being held liable for the deaths of animals due to extreme neglect. First, ensure that staffing levels and resources are appropriate in relation to the number and types of animals present. Additionally, regularly inspect your facilities and provide access to appropriate veterinarian care. A good way to ensure adequate provision of care is by adopting a regular veterinary service or nutrition plan that meets recommended guidelines for husbandry. Finally, establish processes for monitoring animal health such as keeping track of behavioral changes, nutritional supplements and feedings schedules, physical activity levels - whatever best suits your facility’s needs. Setting up a reliable record keeping system will make it easier when reviewing all conditions associated with each animal's case should any lawsuits be forthcoming in extreme neglect cases.
