Two more lawyers oversee animal welfare

Two more lawyers have been appointed to two-year terms on the Animal Care Review Board which deals with appeals of inspectors’ rulings on animal welfare.


They are Ziba Heydarian of Ottawa and Emma Rhodes of Toronto, both named vice-chairmen of the board.


Heydarian was also named vice-chair of the Ontario Fire Safety Commission which deals with appeals from orders by the Ontario Fire Marshall.


It was in the news several years ago over crack-downs on barn parties.


You know you're in trouble when lawyers make farming decisions.
