APHA update: Legal position on transport of cows using shackles
We are writing to alert you to the above issue and ask that you distribute this letter to your members to remind them of the legal position regarding transport cows using shackles. We have recently sent a letter about this to all hauliers who transport cows in GB and your members may receive queries on this from their clients as many of them also deal with cattle.
What is the campaign?
Vets and vet teams care deeply about animal welfare and take pride in delivering highly skilled care for patients and clients. However, recent media and social media coverage has seen high levels of criticism unfairly levelled towards veterinary professionals, questioning their motivations and priorities.
So, we’re changing the narrative by showing the public the realities of the incredible work vets deliver daily to help animal health and welfare.
