Animals

At the Regional State Administrative Agency, we ensure that local authorities provide veterinary services and undertake enforcement of the health and welfare of animals as required in the Veterinary Care Act. We undertake enforcement for instance through evaluation and steering visits and by reviewing reports from local authorities.

The Regional State Administrative Agency for Lapland supervises compliance with the Reindeer Husbandry Act and provisions and regulations issued on its basis.
