“…It is common knowledge that migration is influenced by lifestyle and quality of life, yet it can be challenging to simplify migration down to just one factor. The reasons for veterinary migration can be fully understood by conducting biographical life-history interviews, which are frequently employed in migration studies (Enticott 2017). However, we suggest that the emigration of Sudanese veterinary personnel is due to the economic crisis faced by them and the lack of officials' interest in the veterinary profession.…”

The livestock sector plays a critical role in the Sudanese economy and the welfare of the whole population. Despite the sector’s significant contribution to peoples’ livelihoods, the veterinary services and education environment has always faced daunting challenges in Sudan. However, there is no literature on the challenges faced by the veterinary sector in the country. The purpose of this study was to identify and document veterinary services and education challenges and their potential solutions in Sudan. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted and hosted online on the Microsoft Forms platform. The questionnaire comprised closed questions on participants’ demographics, veterinary profession challenges and potential solutions that were distributed through social media. A total of 357 participants identified the challenges and solutions through the prioritization of 30 and 29 multiple responses, respectively. The main top challenges identified were not giving priority to the veterinary sector (57.4%), migration of veterinary professionals (55.7%), inadequate allocation of resources to the veterinary sector (53.8%), practice of veterinary medicine by nonprofessional people (52.4%), and weak leadership and management (50.4%). The leading solutions suggested included training and capacity building (76.8%), spreading the culture of animal welfare (62.7%), application of the Animal Welfare Law (62.5%), giving priority to the veterinary sector (61.6%), and improving healthcare infrastructure (61.1%). We conclude that most problems and their solutions lie within the prioritization of the veterinary profession, veterinary professional migration, allocation of resources, leadership and management, culture and application of the Animal Welfare Law. These should be accorded the highest priority for better veterinary profession outcomes.

“…The FSA vets working in AGHEs (and livestock abattoirs) are frequently working in hostile environments and far from home. It has been reported by multiple reputable investigative sources that foreign vets working in British meat industries endure relentless intimidation and harassment by the rural workers in slaughterhouses (Enticott, 2017;Davis and Walsey, 2017;Walsey, 2017). The FSA vets working under the conditions referred to above, according to the respondents, are likely to check for signs of Bovine TB and other visible signs of diseases and then hastily move on.…”

Rural criminal collaborations and the food crimes of the countryside: realist social relations theory of illicit venison production

This article provides the first comprehensive criminological account of routinised illicit venison production in rural England. In doing so an epistemological reformulation and conceptual clarification of the overlooked problem is advanced, using extended fieldwork and a novel theoretical framework. The account of offending is refined to a type of illicit rural food enterprise supply chain misconduct, actualised by un-regulated industry processes. This kind of food crime is shown to be reliant upon suspects' connectivity with small to medium food business operations and the routines of rural occupations.Such relations with licit rural-centric commerce are the necessary conditions of offending, which are enabled by the contingent conditions of sub-optimal game meat traceability systems and an absence of regulatory oversight at critical junctures. An outcome that is structurally inscribed into legislation and induces non-compliance. The article addresses the current lacuna of research on venison meat food crimes in the British context and advances an innovative realist social relations theory to explain the crime commissioning process.
