I am up in Scotland for a couple of meetings. I have to give credit to the work being done up here for animal health and welfare. Scotland is really leading the way. I am very impressed with the Scottish Executive for seeing the importance of a good strategy, but the drive from the SSPCA and the Scottish BHS is wonderful. There is a real desire to move forward but to do so in a pragmatic way. As a vet in practice it used to be very frustrating being involved in cases where animals were not being kept properly but the law couldn't do anything. New codes of conduct will really help with this.
