Veterinary Practice Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
8:00 pm
Mary Henry (Independent)
I support what Senator Scanlon has said and would not like anyone to think I was suggesting this often happened. Unfortunately, it is the notorious cases which are often well-known in an area. This probably does not apply to best practice farmers. Are we sure we can be sufficiently vigilant with regard to these cases? I do not know whether the Minister can do more than rely on those who have great concern for animal welfare, which would be 99% of people in this country.
