Area of Science:

  • Animal Welfare Science

Context:

  • A 1991 survey in the Netherlands investigated ethical challenges faced by veterinary practitioners.
  • The study sampled 308 Dutch veterinarians from a population of 2155, achieving a 72% response rate.
  • Ethical issues were examined concerning their troublesome nature, management, and professional handling.

Purpose:

  • To identify the most significant ethical issues in veterinary practice.
  • To understand how veterinarians currently address ethical dilemmas.
  • To gauge practitioners' opinions on how the veterinary profession should manage ethical issues.

Summary:
