Livestock Welfare Engagement Project Survey Online

Alberta Farm Animal Care (AFAC) is involved in a new initiative called the Livestock Welfare Engagement Project. The goal of this project is a collaborative look at animal welfare in Alberta’s livestock industry, where AFAC will facilitate the collection of input from individuals and organizations across the sector. I recently spoke with Melissa Moggy who is the project lead, about the project and an online survey.
