Today Eyes on Animals and AWF|TSB gave a training course on Regulation (EC) 1/2005 to a group of 40 Official Road Inspectors (ITD) and government veterinarians from the Opole region in Poland. We witness some lively discussions and sense some frustration in cases where law is not perfect enough to really protect animals. We appreciate such discussions a lot, even if there are no easy answers, because this shows that inspectors care about animal-welfare.
We hand out our latest version of the Police Training brochures we made and are happy to see that representatives of both inspectorates find it very practical to use in the field when checking livestock trucks.
