The Humane Transport of Farmed Animals Act aims to enhance the welfare of animals during transportation by strengthening enforcement and prohibiting the movement of unfit livestock. It mandates the Secretary of Transportation , in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, to develop an enforcement mechanism within 180 days of enactment. This mechanism will facilitate investigations and inspections of vehicles, vessels, and records to ensure compliance with animal transport provisions. Furthermore, the bill amends the Animal Health Protection Act to prohibit the interstate movement of livestock deemed "unfit to travel." This term is explicitly defined, referencing international animal health standards and including conditions such as sickness, injury, inability to stand, advanced pregnancy, or recent birth. An exception is provided for livestock moved for the purpose of receiving veterinary care, ensuring that necessary medical attention is not hindered. Overall, the legislation seeks to prevent suffering by establishing clear standards and robust oversight for animal transportation.
