The Society accepts as a matter of
principle, that its inspectors
should not have the right of entry
into dwellings. It also suggests
that: animals seized should be
taken to a veterinarian for an ex-
i nail, ion within a. reasonable
period of time after seizure, and
:that the owner of the animals
should have every right and op-
portunity to be present at the ex-
am:illation: and .have his own vet-
erinarian: present at that time.
