Finnish Rabbit and Rodent Breeders’ Federation held its annual meeting in November and, among other things, elected the new Board for the Federation. Mrs. Piia Niemelä will be president of the Federation in 2021, Mrs. Laura Mehtonen will be vice president, Mrs. Karoliina Similä will be secretary and Mrs. Elina Ruha is member of the board.
Our Federation is Active in Statements for Ministry
Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has listed our Federation among the organisations who are asked to make statements on animal related legislation. This is, on the other hand, an honor but it is also a seriously taken possibility to influence on decision making. All the bills on circulation of a proposal for comment can be found on the ministry web pages (mainly in Finnish).
EE-meeting will be held in Vienna
European Association of Poultry, Pigeon, Cage Bird, Rabbit and Cavy Breeder will have its annual convention in Vienna in August. Finnish Rabbit Breeders will be represented in the meeting by the Finnish Rabbit and Rodent Breeders’ Federation, which has been a member to the European Association since 2016.
On the agenda of this three-day-assembly will be, among other things, discussion about rabbit-related matters and the next Europe-show which will take place in Kielce, Poland, in 2022.
