Vets call for hurry up on dog laws, addressing shortage of vets
In a briefing paper to the new Government, the association made the same call for legislation which would ban the docking of dogs' tails. Association chief executive Murray Gibb says as well as the obvious advantages for administering pet control laws, micro-chipping will make it easier to eliminate inherited defects in dogs. That is because it makes the task of tracing a dog's parentage more reliable. Mr Gibb says vets also want to see legislation banning pet tail docking, which has been referred to a select committee, pass into law. Call for Govt to deal with vet shortageThe Veterinary Association is also urging the Government to pass new legislation this year that will help it to deal with a shortage of vets. The Veterinarians' Bill, which was reported back to Parliament in June, allows more flexibility in registering vets. The association says that would help with signing overseas vets to fill some of the gaps, especially in rural practices. But Mr Gibb says if the bill is not passed this year, it will delay introduction of an improved registration process and the ability to deal with the shortages.
