Dear Dr. Little;

 

I feel that the AVMA is condoning and promoting

animal abuse. Below you will read a few examples that

will show you why I feel that this is unacceptable:

 

The AVMA considers the steel-jaw leghold trap to be

inhumane. However, the wildlife veterinarian sitting

on the AVMA Animal Welfare Committee wants that policy

changed to allow use of the steel-jawed leghold trap.

This is the same individual who advocated shooting

feral cats as a solution to reducing their numbers.

 

The AVMA supports the use of biologic specimens,

cats, frogs and other animals, in pre-college

education. and supports the " Use of Random-Source Dogs

and Cats for Research, testing, and education.

 

The AVMA acknowledges that there are " spectator events

involving animals where injuries may occur. "

Nevertheless, the AVMA continues to support these

events, including Greyhound racing, the Iditarod,

roadside animal parks (notorious for their poor animal

care), rodeo (five horses were killed in rodeo events

last year and the dead and injured bovines are not

even counted), polo, horse racing (a dirty business

where horses are sometimes killed by veterinarians for

insurance money), cutting, reining, jumping and field

trials. The status quo " tradition " of beating up on

animals in the name of entertainment is morally and

socially unacceptable. The Europeans recognize that

animals are sentient and is acting accordingly, but

the AVMA disagrees and does nothing.

 

Condoning and promoting animal abuse is unacceptable

and the AVMA must change their policies to protect

animals, not harm them.

 

Sincerely,
