Province offers student subsidies, recommends a staff of investigators to enforce best practices
The government of British Columbia updated its recommendations to secure the health and welfare of farm animals in the province on Thursday, May 9. One of the biggest recommendations was that the ministry of agriculture hire a group of officers to investigate cruelty to animals.
The recommendation for an investigative staff comes during a veterinarian shortage that the Society of British Columbia Veterinarians predicted for several years. In March, the province announced a pilot program to subsidize farmers and ranchers who hire veterinary students. The pilot offers up to $6,000 per placement to help with wages and travel costs that could bring up to 50 new students to British Columbia in 2024.
