The bad smell launched an official investigation, which included inspections by animal welfare groups. “Relating to the cases of exports from South Africa, the current laws, standards, and international norms and standards that are used for the exports of live animals from the Republic, already serve to provide assurances for animal welfare,” Didiza said in response.
This will be followed by a process that will include a socio-economic impact assessment. It will also involve public consultation, and review of the feedback before finalisation.
