Question

How do people look after the animals which are used for transport in your locality

Answer 1

Humans have been transporting animals for a variety of purposes for thousands of years, with numerous accounts of animal transportation from the ancient world. Animals were transported for Roman circusesand for use as military animals. Two well-known historical examples of animals transported to foreign countries are Hannothe elephant[1] and Dürer's Rhinoceros.[2]

Later, animals were transported from the New World to Europe for study and introduction.

During the 20th century, the transportation of animals has focussed on the movement of animals for food, research, entertainment and conservation and the transport of animals is regulated in many countries. Such transport is regulated by a guideline by the European Council enacted in 2007, with relevant legislation passed in member countries, including England, through the Welfare of Animals (Transport), Order 2006 ("WATEO 2006"); and "equivalent national legislation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland".[3] The Animal Transportation Association was formed in 1976 by interested parties to develop best practices and provide information to those involved in the shipment of animals.[4]
