On January 14, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) announced a
'corporate combination' with the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights
(AVAR) to form the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA). The
following are answers to some questions the AVMA has been asked regarding this
new association.
Q: What does this mean for the AVMA?
A: The formation of the HSVMA will not affect the services and
representation offered for the veterinary profession by the AVMA. As the
recognized voice
of the profession, the AVMA will continue its focus on compassion, scientific
validity, and practicality in its answers to questions raised in the course of
caring for animals. And, as always, the AVMA's answers to those questions, and
any related policies and recommendations, will represent the expert input and
diverse practice experiences of our members. AVMA members are veterinarians
who have dedicated their lives to ensuring and improving animal health and
welfare, regardless of whether the animals they care for are companion animals;
horses; animals used for food, fiber, or research; wild animals; or aquatic
species.
