Animal Health Memo

Animals are found throughout lives of humans. As companions, entertainment, test subjects and food, animals serve vital roles throughout our lives.The Animal Bill of Rights, through the Animal Legal Defense Fund, attempts to defend the basic legal rights of all animals. However, to weigh the need for such an act, one must compare the suffering of animals to the benefits such suffering gives to humankind. It’s much more important to highlight the crucial medical advances that lab animals have provided over the injustices they may suffer, but this suffering can not and should not be ignored. It is with measure that we do not enact a bill of rights for animals, however we bring new awareness of animal research and the ethical treatment of all

Instead the company’s resources are concentrated on development close to the market in the late clinical or registration phases” (Meda AB, 2014, para. 3). Unfortunately, risk management is not that simple and MEDA faces much more risk factors than just product development; country specific regulations financially and developmentally, currency fluctuations, and product rights to name a few. Enterprise risk management is a technique available to help manage such high levels of risk; such “financial risks due to foreign currency fluctuations, commodity price fluctuations, and changes in interest rates; operating risks related to customers, products, or employees; and strategic risk related to top management decisions” (Blocher, Stout, Juras, & Cokins, 2013, p. 14). After conducting a thorough SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis on MEDA, it was concluded that the continued success of the organization is threatened by their insufficient efforts to manage risk (Jonsson, 2014). Adopting an ERM program could help to better organize how risk is controlled through “increased risk awareness that facilitates better operational and strategic decision making” (Hoyt & Liebenberg, 2011, para. 2).

Align strategy and corporate culture: The WP management team will create better risk awareness by using ERM. Also, a positive and open culture with respect to risk and risk management will be created as well. This will make every people at every level in WP to participate into the risk management activity which will be a huge benefit to WP and its employees.

It is a privilege and honor to write you in reference to H.R. 4693: Puppy Protection Act of 2017. As an American citizen within Illinois it is widely known of the abuse portrayed upon dogs specifically. I am writing this letter because I want to see an end to animal cruelty in general. I believe the Puppy Protection Act of 2017 is one of the many greater steps in to putting an end it. Animal welfare is just as important as human welfare, because they have feelings and feel pain as well. Sadly, working in an Animal shelter myself I almost see an abused animal every day, so no one understands more than me how badly animal welfare needs to be redeveloped. Our government needs to be creating new legislations through congress to get them passed

Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the diseases of animals. Treating pets is one of the most profitable fields in veterinary medicine. The proper vaccination of animals and the diagnosis of diseases are part of a veterinarian’s duties.

The industry that I want to be apart of in the future is the Veterinary Industry and I will discuss the different types of rules that veterinarians across the state of Texas have to abide by on a daily basis. To begin is Rule 571.4 of The Texas board of Veterinary Medical examiners states the following qualifications to obtain your licenses.It was adopted May 4, 2014. You must be at least 18 years old, you must obtain a passing score on the Veterinary Technician National Examination or the Licensed Veterinary Technician Examination, you also have to graduate from a Veterinary Technician program to even apply for your licences. This rule tries to state the process of which the Veterinary Technician has to obtain his or her license. Rule 573.11 talks about the responsibility for unlicensed employees.This rule was adopted June 14, 2012. A veterinarian shall

Animal health insurance empowers you to accommodate your creatures when they require it most, and when you can't manage the cost of it most. We don't know when our pets will get wiped out, on the off chance that they will get wiped out, or in the event that they will be in a mishap, regardless as us. When you guarantee your creatures, you guarantee that you will have the capacity to give respectable health consideration to them. This could be the distinction in the middle of life and demise for you're pet.

About 33% of all fur sold in the U.S. originates from animals trapped in steel-jaw traps. These traps hammer close on an animals appendage, which causes intense torment and leaves the animal stuck and starving, through several number of days (“People For Ethical Treatment Of Animals”, n.d). A small burn or a sliced finger is enough to get us all worked up. Getting your skin peeled off is a scenario we wouldn’t even want to imagine upon ourselves. In simpler words, these poor creatures are forced to suffer from a heart attack while they are still conscious. We cannot even begin to imagine their pain; not till we are in a situation similar to them. (“Inside The Fur Industry”,n.d) A person who has probably experienced a cardiac arrest may be

Animals like human, need special care. With there being a variety of different animals, there are many types of Veterinarians. From livestock to pets, Veterinarians are there to assist the needs of animals. Specifically talking about, Companion Animal Veterinarians, ones who treat pets, typically working in private clinics. Pets can range from dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, etc. To become a Veterinarian its mandatory to earn the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree. This degree has four years of schooling along with another three to four years of the residency program. Also required is a State License that will be received when taking the state test.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is an animal rights organization based in Norfolk, Virginia, and led by Ingrid Newkirk. PETA is a nonprofit corporation, that has over 300 employees and has over 3 millions supporters and members based around the world; PETA is the largest nonprofit animal rights organization. The common slogan that it is known for is "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way." It was established by Newkirk and Alex Pacheco, the organization was able to catch the attention of the public in 1981, when the Silver Spring monkeys case came out to the public; researchers had conducted the experiments on macaque monkeys in Silver Spring, Maryland. When the police raided the laboratory in the United States, it made an amendment to the country's Animal Welfare Act, and that helped PETA become an international organization.

If an animal is suffering from an illness that it has a minimal chance of recovering from it may be euthanized.This is so that the animal does not have to suffer and can have a merciful death. An example of a time when euthanasia could be used to avoid letting an animal suffer would be a pet suffering with a terminal illness that medical or surgical therapy can no longer relieve or help. If you euthanize the pet in this case you can end its suffering and not have to watch it suffer through its illness until it inevitably dies. Three other examples of illness that causes unnecessary suffering when you could give the animal a merciful death would be a pet with a severe illness and minimal chance of recovery and survival that will likely

It is suggested that pitbull owners feed their pets the foods that have what the breed requires in nutritional value. The dog food should contain nutrient sources that are similar to that found in their native lands that their ancestors ate. The requirements for a pitbull are a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Many dogs are taken to the vet because of nutritional related problems. If the dog is not getting the proper nutrients that their diet requires they can suffer from dry/itchy/flaky skin, hot spots, yeast infections in the ears, or thyroid-liver-kidney problems. The best diet for the pitbull is one that the owner makes fresh, using quality ingredients, without preservatives.

Veterinary public health is a critical branch of public health and a key component of a healthy society. Zoonotic diseases are brought about by pathogens that can infect both animals and humans. Without proper disease control interventions, zoonotic pathogens can cause catastrophic effects on humans, animals, and the ecosystem as a whole. Zoonotic diseases account for nearly 75% of emerging infectious diseases, so it is quite obvious that human and animal health are inextricably linked (Economics and One Health). The “One Health” approach calls for interdisciplinary collaboration in all aspects of health care for humans, animals and the environment (cantas). It is common practice in the American culture for small animals to be regarded as

Enterprise Risk Management is defined as “the process of identifying and analyzing risk from an integrated, company-wide perspective. It is a structured and disciplined approach in aligning strategy, processes, people, technology and knowledge with a purpose of evaluating and managing the uncertainties the enterprise faces as it creates value” (Woon, Azizan, & Samad, 2011, p. 23).
