Current situation: a. Principles of 3R are practiced only when a procedure requires following international protocols. b. Legislation mostly covers prevention of cruelty to animals. c. Religion provides guidelines about conduct to animals, calling them companions and means of utility. d. International collaboration is gradually promoting respect for animal rights. 2. Areas of larger impact in education system: a. Veterinary Gross Anatomy b. Veterinary Surgery 3. Recommendations: a. Legislation for animal experimentation with the aim to reach International Standards in 5 years. b. Education and training of researchers for meeting the international standards of 3Rs. c. Establishment of 'Ethic Commissions' in research/teaching institutes. d. Reduction and replacement of animals in education by introduction of alternatives and residency programmes Keywords: 3Rs, Pakistan, veterinary education, animal experimentation Concept of 3Rs was first introduced by Russel and effectiveness, increased possibility of repeatability Burch in 1959 (Flecknell, 2002; Kolar, 2006).

BILLS: CS/SB 220 REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Careers & Competition Subcommittee 10 Y, 2 N, As Wright Anstead CS 2) Commerce Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS In Florida, the practice of “veterinary medicine” means the diagnosis of medical conditions of animals, and the prescribing or administering of medicine and treatment to animals for the prevention, cure, or relief of a wound, fracture, bodily injury, or disease and is regulated by the Board of Veterinary Medicine under the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The bill allows the practice of veterinary medicine via veterinary telemedicine, where patient care is provided through the use of medical information exchanged via electronic communications. The bill creates licensing exceptions to allow a person other than a veterinarian to perform animal massage, animal acupressure, and animal tooth brushing.

  • Growing Interest in Hormone Sparing Dog Sterilization and Recommendations for Standard Identification Methods Linda Brent Parsemus Foundation, San Francisco, CA
    Growing interest in hormone sparing dog sterilization and recommendations for standard identification methods Linda Brent Parsemus Foundation, San Francisco, CA Abstract Sterilization methods for pets have been around for more than a century, but the practice of spaying and neutering dogs varies globally, from being considered a standard of responsible care in some countries to an infringement of animal welfare in others. In the US, advocacy for spay/neuter programs became widespread in the 1970s to address canine overpopulation. More recently, research on the impact of canine neutering has identified potentially serious health and behavior consequences of removal of the gonads and associated sex hormones that appear to be influenced by sex, breed, age and environment. An alternative is hormone preserving sterilization, including hysterectomy and vasectomy, which allows population control while maintaining natural hormone concentrations. Informal analyses regarding alternatives to traditional spay/neuter indicate that interest from the public and veterinarians has grown in the last 2 years, public demand for veterinarians who offer alternatives is increasing and although most veterinarians acknowledge the pros and cons of gonadectomy, the number providing hormone preserving sterilization is very low. Given current trends toward individualized medicine and increasing public demand, it is likely that the number of practitioners who offer vasectomy, hysterectomy or other hormone reserving sterilization procedures will grow. Now is the time to develop standard methods of identifying dogs who have received such procedures, so that they do not unnecessarily undergo a second surgery. Following an analysis of current practice and available identification methods, we recommend that simple green tattoos be applied to the inguinal area (“X” for hysterectomy and “V” for vasectomy) to identify sterilized dogs.
