My Department has funded organisations involved in animal rescue including an organisation involved in seal rescue. The general principles governing transport of animals is that no animal of any species must be transported unless it is fit for the intended journey. Transport of animals directly to or from veterinary practices or clinics can be undertaken on the advice and discretion of a veterinarian.
