ROLE OF VET IN NATION BUILDING.

Vet do have roles to play in animal-human health,animal production,researches to further shed light on the animal-human interaction and how to strike a balance to ensure a better world.The importance of animal-human interaction was also discussed by GILBERT S.KAHN IN THE HUFF POST. HE SAID" It has been well-documented that the human-animal connection provides a powerful healing bond. Service and therapy dogs really do enhance our quality of life. A common situation that develops among the elderly is the repercussion of a pet's illness. Often times, this event leads to the pet needing to leave the home. An additional outcome may be that the person ends up in a nursing home with little animal contact, which has been shown to improve their quality of life as well as, at times, their health. The human-animal connection extends into other areas as well. We have a moral obligation to study our companion animals on this planet; it's a practical issue that the animals that serve us, feed us, and take care of us be healthy. In doing so, we must redefine the veterinarian's role. Vets will always be needed to treat cats and dogs. But it is their ability to link animal science to human well-being, advance food production and safety, and provide critical defense from global pandemics that needs to be better understood. It is far and away today's and tomorrow's veterinarians who are best suited to tackle important issues such as these.
