On the issue of culling, what sort of numbers are involved? Mr. Fitzpatrick said that he conducted a cull at the invitation of the local authority. In terms of the oversight and welfare issues around the culling, what actually happened? Did all those horses go to registered knackers' yards for culling? Was the culling overseen by veterinary and animal welfare people? Mr. Fitzpatrick runs a private practice so he has a lot of knowledge of all of those matters and might share that with the committee.
