The country’s first animal welfare strategy has been launched by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue.
Entitled ‘Working Together for Animal Welfare: Ireland’s Animal Welfare Strategy 2021-2025’ the strategy recognises the strong interconnections and interdependencies between human, animal and environmental health, and is underpinned by five guiding principles that include working in partnership; science and evidence-led policy-making; improving education and knowledge; consistent evaluation and assessment; and an effective regulatory system.
