Answer 2

Veterinarians are very important mediators of the human-animal bond - they help the human understand what treatment and environment the animal needs and help the animal live a healthier (and hopefully happier) life with the human.

More broadly, veterinarians work to create, maintain and improve the human-animal bond in a variety of ways, ranging from ensuring humane treatment of show animals to improving the health of wild populations of endangered animals.

Veterinary surgeons - usually known as vets - work to safeguard the health and welfare of animals. Vets working in general practice are responsible for the medical and surgical treatment of a range of animals, including domestic, zoo and farm animals. They also work to prevent disease in animals and the spread of disease. There are mixed veterinary practices and those specializing in small animals, food-producing animals and equine work, amongst others. The specialism may depend on the practice's rural or urban location. Vets combine their knowledge of animal physiology, nutrition and medicine with practical skills to diagnose illnesses, prescribe medicines and perform surgery. They also manage anesthesia during procedures. Vets are also employed in other sectors, such as education and research, government agencies including the army, animal charities, and pharmaceutical companies.
