Dr. Sharon Cregier
Sixty years of serving the animal community has led Sharon to work with legislators, attorneys, and government agencies around the world, from the Farm Animal Welfare Council of Great Britain, the RSPCA, to the CBC and Equus journal in Maryland. Her doctoral dissertation on the transport of horses awakened international interest. It led, with Dr R. Husted (TLAER.org), to the publication of Noncommercial Horse Transport: The Need for Standards and to co-editing the third edition of Fraser’s Horse Behaviour and Welfare (CABI). Her work has resulted in the banning of the cosmetic tail docking of horses after a 30-year campaign and a worldwide interest in the transport of all animals. Sharon is 3-times commended by the International Animal Transportation Association, and has been made a Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh.
