Mr. Brennan's point about the socialisation of animals was really well made. I know from my business that the more bovines are socialised, the more placid they become. Socialisation works and needs to be enforced.
On the input of local authorities, some local authorities farm out veterinary functions to other local authorities. Cork County Council does work in this area in Cork City Council. Is there a real difference in standards among local authorities regarding practices and their commitment to this issue?
