Training course for French gendarme

Lesley from Eyes on Animals was contracted out by the organization “Animals’ Angels” to assist in the training of 25 gendarmes on the EU animal-welfare legislation protecting animals during transport. The training took place at the National Gendarmerie School in Fontainebleau, France. The aim of these trainings is to educate the French gendarmes so that they are capable of enforcing the animal-welfare legislation when confronted with a livestock lorry. On this day we also met a gendarme who recently started training the motorcycle-gendarmes on animal welfare during transport, now that this topic is a part of their curriculum. She came to get experience and we will now provide her with animal transport photos that she can use during her training courses.
