New, comprehensive text on long distance transport launched
 June 2008
Long Distance Transport and Welfare of Farm Animals - the book that provides the scientific basis of the Handle with Care campaign - was launched at the 76th General Session of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) in Paris.
The largest and most comprehensive academic reference text on the long distance transport of animals for slaughter was presented to almost 100 of the world's Chief Veterinary Officers in a reception on May 26, 2008.
The reception was also attended by nearly 250 delegates of the general session, including the OIE Director General and Deputy Director General.
The following day, Peter Davies, Director General of WSPA, addressed the OIE general session and highlighted the Handle with Care coalition's global transport campaign.
