APGAW Meeting


Yesterday we attended the Associate Parliamentary Group For Animal Welfare Committee meeting in the Houses of Parliament.  The agenda predominantly covered the subject of live animal transport, and then a small section of the meeting was devoted to some of the issues surrounding the horse meat scandal.  We were very pleased to be able to contribute to the committee meeting and raise some of the issues and failures we see relating to wild ponies in our region.

Good progress also seems to have been made by MPs who have been very proactive in pursuing the farm animal transportation problems at Ramsgate port.  This week Defra have published a report outlining improvements that are going to be made.
