The AEWA is very happy to announce that the Minister for Primary Industries and Water, David Llewellyn has now signed off on the Tasmanian Equine Code of Practice.  The CoP went through many different phases and edits, and has now finally been accepted as a Guideline under the Tasmanian Animal Welfare Act.  This development is an incredibly positive step forward and is hopefully an important step towards having minimum standards of equine care enforceable by law.
