Born Free launches Elephants in Crisis appeal
International wildlife charity the Born Free Foundation has launched an Elephants in Crisis appeal to help tackle devastating declines in numbers. On average, around 55 elephants are killed by poachers each year, equating to one every 25 minutes. There are now less than half a million elephants in Africa, compared to a century ago, when there were around five million. <br> <br>

In order to assist in the appeal, you can sign the charity’s ivory petition, adopt Born Free’s elephant family, support its ivory amnesty to donate. For more information visit www.bornfree.org.uk

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
