It took three baths to reveal the beautiful Australian Shepherd underneath coats of reddish mud and dust. After several weeks with us in foster care, a longer period with a great Aussie Rescue foster family, and a brief inappropriate placement, Harley went to his "forever" home with someone who appreciates him as he deserves. Who could possibly not appreciate a dog like this? Yes, all three of the pictures below also show rescued dogsone from a shelter, two from breed rescue. Right: Kohl, who arrived with severe demodectic mange and bad hips, belonged to a student who couldn't cope with his terrible health problems. As a responsible owner who wanted the best for the dog, he listed Kohl with German Shepherd Rescue. The picture you see here was taken nearly eight years later. Today Kohl is going strong at nearly ten years of age. At left (click for larger picture): Kirsten, who was found tied to a shelter fence, and weighing only 43 pounds, regained excellent health. She lived several more happy years despite a chronic condition, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.

86. EBRA (European Biomedical Research Association, Legislation In Switzerland The present animal welfare legislation in Switzerland is based on a exception ofthe general ban on painful experiments and the right of animal welfare http://www.ebra.org/regulat/switz.html

Biomedical research and animal welfare regulations in Switzerland The present animal welfare legislation in Switzerland is based on a constitutional article introduced in 1973 declaring that Animal Welfare was of Federal concern. Based on this article a law was issued, creating the legal framework for animal protection in general and containing a chapter on animal experimentation. Animal protectionist groups obtained a referendum against this law, one of the arguments being that the law did not prohibit animal experimentation in principle. However, the referendum was rejected in December 1978 and the law was then introduced in 1981. The details of how it was implemented were provided by the Animal Protection Order of 1981. eg laboratory technicians). Licensed animal experiments may only be performed in institutes or laboratories which have the necessary personnel and facilities for housing the species used, and under the responsibility of persons having the necessary competence, training and practical experience. Licences are only issued to researchers with a university degree in biology, medicine, veterinary medicine and closely related scientific areas and three years of experience in animal experimentation. The researcher has to be acquainted with the particular types of laboratory animals, their needs and diseases as well as their use in experiments and has to be able to provide for their adequate care. This means that normally a curriculum vitae is required at the first application. A full report on the experiments has to be produced and kept for at least three years.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the USDA has audited USDA/APHIS/AC 3 times regarding enforcement of the AWA. Each of these audits had found major problems with the enforcement of the AWA. Coincidentally, three past/present USDA inspectors, each dealing with one of these same areas, have turned whistleblower since the OIG audits took place. They have been uniformly critical of USDA/APHIS/AC, showing that little had changed within the agency after the OIG audits. Enforcement Inside Laboratories In 1995 USDA/APHIS was audited by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the USDA. The investigation dealt with enforcement of the AWA in laboratories. The results were not favorable: “APHIS does not have the authority, under current legislation, to effectively enforce the requirements of the Animal Welfare Act. For Instance, the agency cannot terminate or refuse to renew licenses or registrations in cases where serious or repeat violations occur (such as the use of animals in unnecessary experiments, or failure to treat diseases or wounds). In addition, APHIS cannot assess monetary penalties for violations unless the violator agrees to pay them, and penalties are often so low that violators merely regard them as part of the cost of doing business.”

International Vegetarian Union IVU News Animal Welfare Society in Meat Marketing Scheme By Mike Elam, founder of Stop Animal Suffering. IVU News 2-97 Readers in other countries may be surprised to learn that the UKs oldest animal welfare society, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has entered the nasty world of meat marketing. As this is such a backward step for both vegetarianism and animal rights, I will explain how it happened and then suggest a better way to improve conditions for farm animals without encouraging meat eating. The sad saga, in essence, is as follows. A scheme known as Freedom Food was set up by the RSPCA in 1994. Farmers rearing animals under certain conditions, specified and monitored by the society, could apply the Freedom Food label to their products, which would then be sold in the normal way through supermarkets and shops nationwide. The labels read: Freedom Food - RSPCA monitored, but they might as well say approved, because that is surely what most people will understand them to mean. I can accept that the kernel of the Freedom Food idea may have been a sincere desire with the best of motives to improve the appalling conditions suffered by the majority of farm animals in Britain. However, it is bound to send a confusing message to meat eaters and to wavering vegetarians to the effect that meat eating is somehow acceptable, particularly if it apparently has the seal of approval of the most widely known and respected animal welfare society.

intranetpath = "/"; BMVEL: Homepage Agriculture AGRICULTURE Print Page Review of animal welfare policy priorities and future targets: Summary and Outlook May 2001 Our society is attaching major importance to animal welfare. This is reflected by the Animal Welfare Act (TierSchG) expressing our responsibility for our fellow creatures with the aim ofprotecting the live and well-being of animals. The Act was comprehensively amended for the second time in 1998. Although a lot has been achieved with regard to animal welfare standards, social policy must keep developing animal welfare measures. This is being done with the aid of various legal instruments, recommendations and agreements at several levels, i.e. both within the framework of international and supranational organisations (Council of Europe and European Union) and at national levels. This report on the state of play in the development of animal welfare constitutes the seventh report the Federal Government submits to the German Bundestag (parliament). The report focuses on the presentation of national bills relating to the Federal Government's field of competence as well as on the legislative process concerning international and supranational bills in which the Government takes part. In addition, it also focuses on the 1991-1999 data on animals used for experimental purposes.

94. AgBioForum 3(2&3): EU Regulation And Consumer Demand For Animal Welfare Undoubtedly, the greatest driving force for improved animal welfare is There is major public demand for improvements in animal welfare in general. http://www.agbioforum.org/v3n23/v3n23a06-moynagh.htm

Back Issues Index EU Regulation And Consumer Demand For Animal Welfare James Moynagh SCAHAW, Belgium There is already considerable legislation on the statute books in Europe dealing with animal welfare. Such legislation results from strong public pressure and interest. The legislation is always science based, usually on reports from the European Union (EU) Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Animal Welfare (SCAHAW). This paper described the legislative framework in the EU, the methodology used for the assessment of animal welfare and comments on the economic implications of improving animal welfare. Key words: animal welfare; European Union (EU); scientific advice. The last 15 to 20 years has witnessed increasing scientific research, consumer activity, and political response towards animal welfare issues within Europe. This is particularly the case in European Union (EU). If anything, such activity has been increasing. Undoubtedly, the greatest driving force for improved animal welfare is public opinion. There is major public demand for improvements in animal welfare in general. This demand is reflected in the activities of various lobbying organizations and through the media and ultimately at policy level, through improved legislation. Though the driving force is public opinion, legislators have been careful to obtain scientific advice on animal welfare issues and to act within the scope of that advice. This paper provides an overview of recent developments in animal welfare policy in Europe. In particular, it describes the activities of the EU Scientific Committee on Animal Health and Welfare (SCAHAW) and the indicators used to determine advice on animal welfare. The paper also addresses how EU legislation with respect to animal welfare is evolving, and how consumer attitudes are shaping the food system and policy responses.

Animal Welfare Problems in Cloning Why Cloning Pets is Unethical Do Cloned Animals have Shortened Life Spans? The jury is still out. There is evidence that the length of the chromosome ends called telomeres are associated with ageing. Dolly has shorter telomeres than expected and so the suggestion is that the fact that she was cloned from a six year old ewe may have some effect. Significantly Dolly has given birth to three sets of lambs by ordinary mating, and they show normal telomere length. Other experiments in the USA claim that cloning can produce longer telomeres, implying apparently younger animals. This is an indication that, despite the empirical results, the basic science of nuclear transfer cloning is still comparatively little understood. It may not be premature ageing that is the issue so much as whether more conventional failures happen at a higher rate in cloned animals, and thus lead on average to shorter lifespans. There are relatively few cloned farm animals in existence, so it is difficult to say about longer term issues. Dolly is unique whether a problem like Dolly's arthritis is actually cloning or just a random effect. Roslin have a cloned sheep a year older and a year younger than Dolly who do not have arthritis, but these were not made from somatic cells. There would need to be several examples before a pattern were established. Roslin and PPL have other cloned sheep (although not from somatic cells) a year older and a year younger which do not have arthritis.

AVMA Journals Home JAVMA online December 1, 2003 Veterinary leaders support science-based OIE animal welfare policies International veterinary leaders have sent letters to the Office International des Epizooties expressing their support for a science-based approach to the organization's animal welfare initiatives. The International Veterinary Officers Council, comprising representatives from the AVMA, the Australian Veterinary Association, the British Veterinary Association, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, and the New Zealand Veterinary Association, sent a letter to the OIE urging it to continue using a science-based approach to developing animal welfare policies. The IVOC participants decided to draft the letter during the fifth meeting of the council, held in Chicago, May 9-10. Dr. Bernard Vallat, the director general of OIE, responded to the letter sent by AVMA Executive Vice President Dr. Bruce W. Little by outlining the OIE's science-based approach to making animal welfare policies. Dr. Vallat explained that the member countries of OIE determined that it is the international organization best suited to address animal welfare because of the link between animal health and welfare, and that animal welfare standards must be based on sound science, just as animal health standards are.
