About the Event
Summary: Animals are transported domestically and internationally via air for zoos, aquariums, and research facilities. Animals are also transported for commercial purposes and as personal pets. Specific animal welfare regulations and policies must be abided by to ensure these animals arrive to their destinations safely. Veterinary involvement in the airline industry is needed to explain and ensure compliance with animal welfare regulations, educate animal shippers/animal owners of the regulations, assist with monitoring the health and welfare of animals during air transport, and guide decisions related to the transportation of animals. During the presentation, we will discuss how having veterinary involvement in the airline industry could benefit animal welfare.
