Opinions of Veterinarians and Positions of the AVMA
|
|
The American Veterinary Medicine Association (AVMA) is considered by many to be the official voice of the veterinary community in the United States, and it is often looked to for its position on animal welfare issues. The organization claims to represent “more than 69,000 veterinarians working in private and corporate practice, government, industry, academia, and uniformed services.” These veterinarians look to the AVMA to represent their views on various practices and industries involving animals. In recent years, however, the AVMA has been criticized for endorsing animal husbandry practices for farmed animals that are controversial and considered to be inhumane by a number of veterinarians as well as the general public. |
