Some key considerations when planning an event involving animals are to ensure the rights, health and welfare of the animals are taken into account at all stages. It’s essential to conduct research into applicable laws which govern the use of animals in events, especially as these may be industry-specific (e.g. zoos or circuses). You should also stay informed on standards set by animal welfare organisations when organizing or managing any form of event where animals are present such as providing adequate food and shelter, minimizing noise levels, keeping areas clean and free from obstructions and maintaining high standards for overall health and well being. 
It’s important to create an environment tailored around proper care with protocol on what steps can be taken if issues arise related to animal rights or welfare that require attention beyond your knowledge/capabilities due to lacking experience handling various species for large groups–as ultimately your responsibility is still upholding laws relating & ensuring ethical practices adhere regarding any livestock present in accordance with applicable local regulations governing captive wildlife & performing exhibits/acts involving wildlife within specified environments!

In order to ensure animals receive proper care and there are no legal issues related to the event, you should consider obtaining an animal transport license from your local department of agriculture or veterinary services, as applicable. You should also ensure the animals have access to suitable food, water and resting areas. If the event is outdoors, ensure sufficient shade and shelter are available for the animals in case of severe weather conditions. Finally, prior to conducting any animal activities in a public arena it’s best practice to consult a zoo or wildlife sanctuary professional regarding ethical practices and industry standards so as not to cause stress or harm on the animals used in your event.
