Abstract

This article discusses the legal regulation of the transport of domestic animal over a 50- year period (1855-1906) due to the prohibition of torture of animals during transport. Serious legislation of these veterinary activities began in 1888 with the adoption of the Veterinary Orga- nization Act, which devoted 18 articles to animal transport and many more concerning the disin- fection of transport vehicles. Later, these legal provisions would be complemented by 37 by- laws (orders, instructions or circulars) address- ing the faster and simpler organization of animal transport. These acts were adopted one per year in 1889, 1891, 1892, 1894, 1895, 1897 and 1899 and two per year in 1893 and 1903. Four legal acts were adopted in 1901, 1904 and 1905, while five were adopted in 1902 and seven in 1900. From the above, it is evident that the animal was examined by an authorized veterinarian during transport, and before and after loading. Loading and unloading of livestock, shipping or delivery of livestock had to be carried out in the presence of a veterinarian. The person who loaded live- stock was required to reported the shipment to the veterinarian (24 hours in advance) and the head of station in turn reported this to the ex- perts and, if this was not possible in advance, reporting was performed as soon as the consign- ment arrived at the station. Furthermore the ar- ticle lists the rewards given to veterinarians for these examinations and situations in which vet- erinarians did not have to examine animals after unloading in domestic shipping.
