Most veterinarians do not. Animal testing is a laboratory-based experiment that is tightly regulated and overseen by a veterinarian who has been trained in caring for laboratory animals. There are relatively few lab animal veterinarians, partly because the veterinarian must go through an additional 3-5 years of specialty training and pass a specialized Board Exam before working as a lab animal veterinarian.
The current laws regarding animal testing are that the animal testing must be carefully reviewed and overseen. There are several laws regulating the use of animals for testing.
There really aren't any medium animal veterinarians. Small animal veterinarians focus primarily on companion pets - cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles, birds, etc. Large animal veterinarians focus primarily on livestock - horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, etc.
is the testing really worth it
In the United States, yes, there are many more small animal veterinarians than large animal veterinarians. However, this proportion changes depending upon the geographic region you are talking about, and in many developing countries there are many more large animal veterinarians than small animal veterinarians.
Animal testing is really wrong! Animals are just as importent as we are! They help keep people alive sometimes!
Animal pathologists may be veterinarians or zoologists (animal scientists). Veterinarians specializing in pathology study diseases and disorders in animals.
yes there are always animal testing everywhere and it's really bad=(
This will depend on what you are looking for:1. A good web search for sites against animal testing would be for PETA, HSUS, ALF, etc. These are all special interest groups that are very anti-animal testing.2. A good web search for sites for animal testing would be the American Society of Lab Animal Practitioners (ASLAP, an organization for veterinarians that have specialized in treating and caring for lab animals).3. Good sites debating animal testing are hard to come by - I am not aware of any particular group that is putting up the information in an unbiased fashion.
Yes, veterinarians prevent animal illnesses mostly through vaccinations and encouraging a healthy lifestyle for the pets.
no one really knows for SURE but its said that the 1st major testing was in the late 19th century
never test animals like that you could kill the animal or harm the animal really bad!!
1. Veterinarians work to improve animal health. 2. Veterinarians can significantly improve human health, particularly public health.
