We are now a member of the Associate Parliamentary Group For Animal Welfare
The APGAW is a long-standing cross-party parliamentary group made up of more than 80 MPs and Lords and over 70 associate animal welfare organisations. We aim to promote and further the cause of animal welfare by all means available to the Parliaments at Westminster and in Europe.
The intention of APGAW is to keep MPs and Peers informed about animal welfare issues. Regular meetings and events provide an opportunity for those with a common interest in animal welfare to meet and debate their views and the views of others. APGAW also sets up working groups to investigate and report on areas of concern to the group.
Ultimately APGAW seeks to influence the development and introduction of effective wide-ranging legislation to improve animal welfare.

Our Mission Statement
To promote and introduce an effective system that can regulate the veterinary profession, either by an independent veterinary body or by the RCVS itself. The system would have the power to take action whereby veterinary surgeons not demonstrating due concern or the skills required to animals in their care can be either:
a) monitored/ retrained/ restricted to offering only certain treatments that they are actually qualified and experienced to perform
or
b) be disciplined by an independent panel made up of members of their own profession and members of the public.
The system would be for the benefit of the consumer and responsible ethical vet practices. We also propose this panel would be able to intercede on behalf of the veterinary profession in relation to complaints against the veterinary surgeons by vexatious pet owners. The system would ensure that when handing over your pet to the vet's practice, both veterinary practice and pet owner would be protected. If needed, both parties would be given access to an independent neutral adjudicator backed by law.
