AJP will campaign for an amendment to include animals that are exported by air; except for specific cases such as companion animals being relocated or relocation for conservation efforts. Not only are the transportation methods often dangerous, cramped and not up to the standards defined in The Animal Welfare Act 1999, we have no control over the management or care of animals once they reach their destination country. This allows for the treatment of animals we have raised and transported, to be substandard and not in accordance with our animal welfare laws and codes.
