Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, fires, blizzards, terrorism … no matter where one lives, no one is immune from a potential natural or man-made disaster disrupting our lives. Most of us have probably given very little thought to what we might do if displaced by a disaster, and even less to what we would do with our pets.

Dr. Heather Case, director of the Scientific Activities Division at the American Veterinary Medical Association, talks about incorporating pets into a disaster preparedness plan.

Web resource for veterinary history studies which contains government reports (c.1850-1947) on medical-related issues during British rule in India. Several volumes relating to human diseases are being supplemented with veterinary reports.

This part of the collection is rich in material relating to the practice of veterinary medicine in colonial India and Burma, and is especially important for the study of the interaction of health, medicine and the environment. It contains official documents covering the whole of the administrative district as well as reports from individual states. A major part of the collection comprises veterinary reports dating from a significant period in veterinary history in India, when emphasis changed from military supplies (horses, oxen) to livestock, after outbreaks of cattle disease in the 1860s. One consequence was the establishment of veterinary colleges, schools and laboratories during the 1860s to 80s.

While the introduction of western veterinary medicine into south Asia was linked at first with military resources, it is clear that the establishment of the Civil Veterinary Departments in British India later in the nineteenth century represented a more fundamental engagement with animal health and welfare by the colonial authorities. Following the example of the Bombay Presidency which established its Civil Veterinary Department in 1876, all the major administrations had set up a similar unit by 1914. This collection encompasses all the major research institutes and veterinary schools at that time and beyond, and provides vital official documents for anyone researching medical, veterinary, social and colonial history. The studies of zoonoses and public health are particularly pertinent.

The convergence of people, animals, and our environment has created a new dynamic in which the health of each group is inextricably interconnected. The challenges associated with this dynamic are demanding, profound, and unprecedented.

Despite spectacular achievements in microbial genetics and genomics, we know relatively little about how such zoonotic agents are maintained in nature or how they respond to environmental (often anthropogenic) changes. Improvements are needed in our ability to detect and respond to emerging zoonotic agents, particularly those that appear suddenly and are capable of spreading over large areas. In order to more effectively prevent or control zoonotic diseases, it will be necessary to better understand the ecology of their respective etiologic agents.

The One Health Initiative is a call to action for collaboration and cooperation among health science professions, academic institutions, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industries towards improved assessment, treatment, and prevention of cross-species disease transmission and mutually prevalent, but non-transmitted, human and animal diseases and medical conditions. A changing environment populated by interconnected animal and human contact creates significant challenges. These challenges require integrated solutions and call for collaborative leadership.

One Health Initiative will unite human and veterinary medicine

The One Health Initiative is a movement to forge co-equal, all inclusive collaborations between physicians, osteopaths, veterinarians, dentists, nurses and other scientific-health and environmentally related disciplines, including the American Medical Association, American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. National Environmental Health Association (NEHA). Additionally, more than 535 prominent scientists, physicians and veterinarians worldwide have endorsed the initiative.

Newly developed website of the European Forum of Animal Welfare Councils.
Animal welfare plays an increasingly important role in our society: societal views on the use of animals by humans and on the human – animal relationship are changing rapidly within many European countries.

Because of these interest and concerns, various European countries have set up Animal Welfare Councils to provide national governments and others with sound scientific and ethical advice about animal welfare.

The European Forum for Animal Welfare Councils (EuroFAWC) was founded in 2006. EuroFAWC provides a platform for informed debate, for sharing information and views and a network for members of the Animal Welfare Councils throughout Europe (i.e. all countries that belong to the Council of Europe). Several international organisations, such as OIE and the European Commission, have observer status.

The European School for Advanced Veterinary Studies (ESAVS) is a registered non-profit organisation at the Luxembourg University. It was founded as a pilot-project of the European Union`s COMETT II programme in 1991. Further developments were supported by the LEONARDO DA VINCI programme.

The School`s umbrella structure is the European Association for Veterinary Specialisation. The ESAVS is an associate member of the FECAVA

News, reviews, trends, thought-provoking discussions, must-have products, toys & accessories, training tips, pet food recipes, heart-warming stories, rescue stories, breed profiles, health, grooming & behavioural tips, pet-oriented book & DVD reviews, valuable tips for pet owners on a number of pertinent subjects—all come together to make up each fun-packed issue. We feature interactive articles, where readers are welcome to contribute content and have a platform to proclaim their affection for their animals under a host of sections.

Furthermore, our intent is to support and thereby give impetus to the Indian pet industry by featuring articles that are teeming with reviews, views, information, statistics, opinions and recommendations. All of our industry articles are research-based and carry the opinions of almost all professionals that make up the Indian pet milieu, reflecting the true status of the Indian pet market. Creature Companion, therefore, works as India’s and the world’s window into the Indian pet arena.
