NABR has officially filed comments on USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) proposed rule to amend the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulations by adding minimum age requirements for the transport of all covered animals in commerce. Under the proposed rule, all AWA-covered species would have to be weaned and at least 8 weeks of age in order to be transported. For those of you who also filed comments, we thank you for your participation, and we encourage you to do so again in the future.
