Congress has entrusted APHIS with the stewardship of animals covered under the Animal Welfare Act and Horse Protection Act, and APHIS continues to uphold that trust, giving protection to millions of animals nationwide. APHIS provides leadership for determining standards of humane care and treatment of animals, implements those standards, and achieves compliance through inspection, education, cooperative efforts, and enforcement. This session will provide an opportunity to hear from USDA staff on programmatic updates and to ask questions. This session will take place in Zoom meeting. The use of attendee video is encouraged for participation and interaction with your peers.
